1st really smart thing so far as I have herd here.
Yes, it is a method. He has used it well.
Keep taking little nibbles and 1st see if anyone notices, 2nd if anyone cares, 3rd if they care enough to act, 4th if they are willing to act enough to stop it.
Putin hated Hillery Clinton because the actions they took after this invasion were so brutal to the oligarchs. We need to see a much larger version of the same.
But don't stop there. There is no reason this time to worry if the Russian people are going to be harshly effected like last time, let those in control answer for their actions and see if it is worth it to them.
He needs internal political pressure this time. Stop trading with them.
