What can the world do to punish Russia?

There is a story I read of an American reporter who wanted to interview Putin. He described the long wait which included being moved from one room to another, spending hours in each one. When he was finally permitted to meet him in person, he was surprised at what a rat-like person Putin was. There is more to the story but that's what stuck with me. I remember too a picture of Putin with a group of older teens bending an aluminum skillet, and a video of him drawing the butt end of a cat for elementary school children. It was just two legs and a tail with with a dot midway between and the kids couldn't figure out what the heck it was. Putin said, "It is a cat...walking away from you." The guy was always weird.
The man’s genius goes unnoticed, it seems. You say that he bent an aluminum skillet and
not a cast iron one! No, he knew not to even try that! Seems like a genius move to me.

Apollo era on the Apollo-Soyuz test project.

I remember this...it was a big deal!

My long time subscription to National Geographic gave me the info... no Internet back then. Seems I saw some video on TV back then, or maybe a false memory. It was all very exciting.

In those days, I smoked. I recall buying a pack of Apollo-Soyuz cigarettes!
White box, blue label with a space craft on it. I wanted to save it for posterity. When stuck without smokes and without wheels one day, I opened the pack and smoked them, telling myself I couldn't help it and I would save the empty pack.

I did save the empty pack but after several moves, I don't have it anymore. :(
 
We are already sending Ukraine some of the best weapons to use against Russia. Seen on the local news this morning what one "ghost" ( otherwise they don't know where it came from or what country) plane took down 6 Russian planes & 4 helicopters. One Marine blew up a bridge that stops the Russian tanks from going into Kyiv.
 
Outspoken opposition to Putin's invasion of Ukraine is growing in Russia - and not just among the autocracy's civilian population.

Disquiet is also now spreading through some of the countries politicians with one Communist MP, Mikhail Matveev saying outright: 'I think that the war should be stopped immediately.

Matveev is a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) which sits in opposition to President Putin and the United Russia party.

'When I voted for the recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), I voted for peace, not for war,' Matveev said

'For Russia to become a shield, so that the Donbas was not bombed, but not for Kyiv to be bombed.'

Ukraine regards both the DPR and LPR as terrorist organizations due to their loyalty to Russia. The Republics are located in the historical Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.
