This isn't hurting Putin. This is hurting the people of Russia who were already living tougher lives than we have here before they were hit with 40+% inflation.
Fuck Visa and Mastercard.
Extremely long post history here that debunks that lie.

History doesn’t repeat itself. It just tries to remember an old song it heard once. It may be that Putin’s 24 February 2022 will turn out to be like Hitler’s 22 June 1941 – the day he invaded Russia, doomed himself and Germany to destruction and made inevitable a divided Europe whose Cold War and barbed wire would last for half a century. But Putin isn’t Hitler. He will die a disappointed old nuisance in exile somewhere, rather than by Heldentod ("hero’s death") suicide in his bunker. Both men qualify as psychopathic dictators, swaddled from reality in fantasies of geopolitical revenge. But Putin’s grip on the Russian imagination is weaker than Hitler’s on the Germans. And his use of police terror against his own people, though horrifying, is distinctly less effective.
All the same, historian Margaret MacMillan sees one desperately important parallel. Both men have meant what they said. And in both cases they were not taken seriously until it was too late. Hitler raved on in public about getting rid of the Jews and conquering Lebensraum in eastern Europe. But the “other Hitler”, in private, could sometimes talk quite charmingly and constructively about possible agreements. Obviously, foreign visitors concluded, the public stuff was just for show while the “serious” Hitler was revealing his real mind. Diametrically wrong! The crazy speeches gave his true intentions; the sober reflections over coffee were all lies. With Putin, the west wrote off his increasingly wild talk about breaking Nato’s encirclement and restoring Russia’s dominion over post-Soviet space. He couldn’t be serious. Under the bluster, wasn’t there still that shrewd, cautious Putin with whom one could do business? But Ukraine proves the opposite. The imperial dream is what he means. The meetings with western leaders across that long table, hinting at terms for a bargain, were all fake.

6ix, you told me a thousand times that you're crazy, and just because you can be polite and reasonable once in a while, underneath the good manners the real you is stark raving mad. Remember writing Trump will be fine? Anybody who wants that for Trump is as untrustworthy and dishonorable as he is. Democrats are cancer? You are not right in the head, 6ix. Nobody dies of Covid? How did you get this way, 6ix?

Keep it up.
I already got your sockpuppet banned.
I can just post the links to archived posts of yours promoting murder and bragging about how you'd murder people you don't like and get away with it in the text chat on the front page until Haken looks at them and take care of you too, Arthur.
The only people I feel sorry for are whoever now has to deal with your Reaverfan persona since you can't use FFF.NET as your toilet for that demon anymore. Because there ain't no way you put a lid on that after the worse half of you was banished from here.

P.S. Visa and Mastercard are violating Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. OnlyFans attempted to violate Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, but they were shamed into not doing so.

Former Astronaut Scott Kelly Tells Russian Space Chief Dmitry Rogozin to Find McDonald's Job
Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has publicly clashed with Dmitry Rogozin, director of Russia's Roscosmos space agency, on Twitter, with Kelly implying that Russia could soon have no space industry at all without international cooperation.
The hostile exchange was sparked by a March 2 tweet by Rogozin which included footage of Roscosmos staff apparently stripping a Russian rocket of international flag decals.
"The launchers at Baikonur decided that without the flags of some countries, our rocket would look more beautiful," Rogozin wrote.

The RD-180 rocket engine is used to power Atlas V launches.
Quote:
Atlas V is an expendable launch system and the fifth major version in the Atlas launch vehicle family. It was originally designed by Lockheed Martin, now being operated by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Atlas V is also a major NASA launch vehicle. In August 2021, ULA announced that Atlas V would be retired, and all 29 remaining launches had been sold. As of 2 March 2022, 24 launches remain. ... Each Atlas V launch vehicle consists of two main stages. The first stage is powered by a Russian RD-180 engine manufactured by Energomash and burning kerosene and liquid oxygen. The Centaur upper stage is powered by one or two American RL10 engines manufactured by Aerojet Rocketdyne and burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

In addition, Russia will no longer launch foreign payloads from Russian launch facilities:
Quote:
Early Thursday morning (March 3), London-based company OneWeb announced that it's suspending launches of its satellites from the Russia-run Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The decision came after Russia's federal space agency, Roscosmos, announced it would not launch 36 OneWeb internet satellites as planned on Friday (March 4) unless OneWeb guaranteed that the craft would not be used for military purposes and the United Kingdom government agreed to divest itself from OneWeb, which it helped buy out of bankruptcy in 2020.

Looks like NASA and commercial launches will depend on SpaceX engines.

And finally...
It's too much of a PITA to provide links for everything, but bc Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of wheat, traders expect the price of wheat to rise considerably. Analysts are concerned there will be another "Arab Spring" due to rising wheat prices in the MENA.
And since corn depends heavily on fertilizer, and fertilizer is made from natural gas, I expect the price of fetilizer and subsequently the price of corn to rise.
Food prices, like fuel prices, are expected to rise.
