Your conceptually correct in what you're saying, but we're in triage mode here. Tomorrow's relations are irrelevant compared to the more pressing need of stopping the slaughter of innocents. It's hilariously weird to be more focused on being able to bro out with Russians three years from now versus stopping them from killing their neighbours today.

I see things like athlete bans being just as likely or more likely to make things worse now, and also to make things worse in the long run. That may or may not be correct. It's an empirical issue that I don't think either of us currently have presented evidence to settle one way or the other. I intuitively disagree with you, but would be open to changing my mind if there were persuasive evidence.
I do however object to the suggestion that I'm focused on broing out with the Russians who are killing people today. I'm not. That's not all Russians. Someone having Russian nationality doesn't make them a murderer or a supporter of violence by virtue of that nationality alone.
Frankly though, I do think people from all places being able to “bro out” together should be the goal. That's a future we should always be working towards.
