    That’s interesting, the only support I’ve seen for it amongst regular citizens of Europe is from people that both:

    1. Are well-off enough to be able to take in the price increase without seeing their quality of life impacted
    2. Wanted to inflict economic hardship on Russian citizens through sanctions as a form of punishment for Putin’s policies

    Even though I wasn’t very much affected by the inflation, I understand the reasons those sanctions aren’t supported by the majority of people here in Europe, and I sympathize with the hardship of people who already before that were struggling to make ends meet and feed their family.

    You can categorize me with the humanitarians. And I already know where to categorize you.

      From what I can tell a majority of Europeans DO support sanctions. Do you have anything other than your personal anecdotal evidence to counter this data?
