> There were no protests in London after Nemtsov was murdered.

Yes there were; it was outside the Russian embassy.

Having said that; I totally agree with your post and its one of the best I've read on this subject. It makes no sense to further isolate Russians. Any consumer of gas or electricity in most of Europe is part of this; as we are all financially supporting Putin, and even with these sanctions will continue to do so.
