Only a combination of methods (economic sanctions, military pressure - arms race, international isolation, lawsuits, counterpropaganda, etc.) can be won in that case. Yes, it takes time. But there is no other way.
Oleg Ponomar wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"If NATO has evidence in the form of pictures of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
If the CIA has evidence that the Russian Federation supports the DPRK, IGIL, etc..
Then why not send this evidence to The Hague? And to resolve the issue with the RF once and for all?.
You can transfer it. And they will someday be transferred.
But answer yourself - What next? And then?.
Example.
Hitler in 1938-39 chopped off part of Czechoslovakia (having played the play with an attack on a German post), invaded Poland and so on. Let's say that Poland brought evidence to The Hague. What's next? A big country, military power is set on war. Not tuned for hiking in ships. What can be done with it?.
The US, as a superpower, as a bulwark of democracy in the world, what could Germany have done in 1941, if there had been a verdict of The Hague? Send to Europe for the death of several tens of millions of Americans? I do not think. Instead, the United States strengthened the military and economic enemies of Germany (although the son of a bitch. but his time came in 45 years too). Created a world coalition. Connected in the military plan at the right time and defeated Germany and Hitler. Yes, it took 6 years, but these are actions that emerge from opportunities. And not fanfares.
Come back today.
You will say - Why on the basis of The Hague not to enter all the strongest sanctions at once, in one package?.
Because the Russian Federation stands. There will be a knockdown, but there will be no knockout. Will suffer greatly, but will adapt. So, what is next? How to further influence it? Declare war on behalf of NATO? Put several tens of millions of citizens of NATO member countries (after all, Russia does not consider its own)? The answer is obvious.
Therefore - sanctions. Therefore - packages. The meaning of the packages is that each package has its validity for six months or a year, then it adapts to it, it is exhaled. But if the West (the USA) introduces a new package, they thereby increase the actions of old packages several times and add new dynamics to the new package. Therefore, they have already been introduced ten and will be.
You will say - Why not declare an oil embargo?.
Because Russian oil needs to be replaced. After all, the world needs a certain amount of oil. So the US, Canada, Iran, the sheikhs should increase production. And this is time.
Another example.
T-Rex tells Lavrov - We are ready to turn off your SWIFT. And Lavrov says - Then we will bomb Ukraine before Kiev. We have nothing to lose.
It is clear that this is a bluff. But all the same it is necessary to strengthen the army of Ukraine, to help create Ukraine anti-aircraft missile defense, aviation, etc.. And this is time. Or turn off SWIFT gradually (already two Ross. bank are disabled).
And so on and so forth.
There are many examples of such factors. But the point is that - Do not look for easy ways and solutions. Do not take what lies on the surface. Emotional and children's solutions are not solutions. It is necessary to consider the situation from all sides, in depth and in breadth. Remember the USSR - only a combination of methods (economic sanctions, military pressure - arms race, international isolation, lawsuits, counterpropaganda, etc.) can be defeated in this case. Yes, it takes time.
But there is no other way.
