The army has bullets stockpiled. If Russians refuses to run any factories starting today the war would still be on. It's not hard to find arms if you have money-- which Putin has

Russian citizens aren't getting bombed. They are getting economic sanctions. Considering these citizens are paying taxes that fund the war, I think they're fair game for economic payback.

This comment chain mentioned a Russian person living abroad. Supposedly they also pay taxes abroad, not in Russia, yet they are still affected.

And just to be clear - I'm not saying it's true or false (heck, I have very mixed feelings), I'm saying it's arguable.
