If a conquered country has an organized people, it can often use nonviolent resistance to compel the conqueror to make some compromises. In addition, if other enemies continue fighting the conqueror, this nonviolent resistance can help them defeat the conqueror so they can liberate the conquered country.

Nonviolent effort to reduce the oppressiveness of an occupation can do some good. But the occupation of Norway and Denmark lasted only 5 years. Ukraine could be occupied for decades.

I think that the fact that Ukraine is fighting bravely is the reason why NATO countries have chosen such strong nonviolent actions against Russia. If Ukraine had surrendered without a fight, it would never have stirred up such a response.

After writing that, I saw that Hariri said something similar.

Now we can say, "Strike a blow against Putin -- decarbonize!"
