How can we help the Russian People?

Is there a way to help the Russian people and still try to keep Putin from taking over Europe?

I'm not sure at this point. But, if the Russian People are not told the truth about what is actually happening here on earth there will be no way to actually help them. If all they here is government sanctioned Propaganda via Putin, then they are no better off really than during the 1970s and 1980s during the Soviet Union.

So, some way to help the people of Russia before the poor start starving to death en masse from the declining Ruble and lack of foods and other goods in their markets and lack of money to buy foods and goods with, is necessary so they just aren't so incredibly mad at the Western world that they want to go to war with us to get even because of what we are (Supposedly) doing to them.

When in reality, what is going on, is the western world doesn't want a nuclear war with Russia, so we are Sanctioning Putin. We aren't really interested in sanctioning the poor and middle Class Russians, we just want him to stop taking over countries in Europe.

However, now Putin has upped the ANTE by putting millions of dollars into Neo NAZI extreme rightest groups all across Europe so he CAN BE  seen as the ULtimate Conservative leader in Europe as a way of taking over Europe from within governmentally.

Though I'm not sure this would work, one idea might be to convince Putin that it is not in his economic best interests to continue to support Assad which has created ISIL in response to Assad continuing to exist. So, possibly if Russia withdraws it's support from Assad, Saudi Arabia and Opec might raise the price of Oil once again. I'm not sure about this but this might be one approach to solving the present problems the world is facing right now.

Otherwise, it might be that the price of oil might decline to 12 to 15 dollars a barrel and further devastate Russia and Shale oil producers worldwide.

However, Saudi Arabia is profitable at any price above 10 dollars a barrel it is thought. But, this isn't true for most of the rest of the world, especially shale oil producers.

But, also the price of oil is decreasing because of property values decreasing in China which is causing Chinese Businesses buy less oil and the Chinese people as well.

So, it is possible that the price of oil is going to reduce to 12 to 15 dollars a barrel no matter what anyone does at this point.

So, oil might just be a part of a geopolitical cross purposes of the entire world at this point. So, there might be no solution in regard to oil prices for months to years no matter what happens.

Also, since solar is now more cost effective than oil as an energy resource in at least 50% of the developed countries on earth this is another factor in the drop in oil prices.

So, how can we help the Russian people? Because of the complexity of all this I'm not sure at this point.
