    Which brings to mind my idea for regime change in russia. Here me out here, first of all, we engineer an alcohol shortage, we sabotage their vodka refineries, (said to personally be owned by putin, which is traditional going back to the tsars,) and the rest. Then when the people are in a clamour in a sober fury, we hack into the state tv broadcast and submit a deepfake of Putin asking why the people just don’t drink Champagne if the vodka is out.

      Alcoholism is not the source of a problem, but the symptom. (Although in my personal opinion, people of course should drink less, not just in Russia)
