What’s the single most effective punishment/reprimand towards a country like Russia and its leaders that you have seen over the years, that would make them think twice about pursuing their existing strategy in Ukraine? More to the point, what is effective in changing behaviour and when will it happen and how?

Thank you for making time to answer all our questions, including mine! Is it then pointless having any international laws and courts in your opinion?

Thanks for being so awesome and showing up here to educate us all. We recently learnt that being born intersex, is as likely as being born with red hair. Is their a large intersex community that you know of and connect with?

Well said, I agree. I find however that it always sounds very solid, important when leaders say ‘and x has broken international laws and will be brought to justice’. It gives the listener hope that things might be leveled for the injustices. Yet, I just don’t know what it means and is it a strong enough deterrent for others to not follow suit. The issue is, dictators have usually lost the plot completely by the time they get to this place and therefore do not care about any repercussions. They’re usually ready to die for their cause in any event. Which is sad and completely wrong for the millions whose lives they rule and impact.
