I think we're about to be deprived of the company of our Russian and Belarusian friends and friendly acquaintances no matter what we decide about internet contact on our side of the Putinist War Against Ukraine.

Agreed on this point in particular.

He might even be looking to heed Aleksandr Dugin's advice re: the Internet...and seek the death of the Net as a whole...starting with Russia's current holdings.

Not interested in either trying to live in, or having to die of, such a future.

I think Putin could cause a mass revolution against him if he cut off Russia from the rest of the online world.  He's made a lot of miscalculations with this war, and that one step further could really cost him.
