I think it's a bit of bad faith to characterize "aggressor in an unprovoked, expansionist war against your country and who has killed or wounded 400,000 of your countrymen" as simply "people you don't like".

In wars it's important who started first. In Russia-Ukraine war this is quite clear.

Seems typical: illegal actions against people you don't like? win an award. illegal actions against people you like? we need prison time and sanctions.

It's like tipping somebody on wanted list versus resisting masked government official, something like ICE. We absolutely need to level the playing field here.

I have an issue with "stupidity" suggestion. Clicking "Agree" without full analysis is tried and true Internet tradition, it's so sad somebody assumes it's serious and attempts to use it. We should have legal protections against wringing quasi-agreements from customers and then using them against.

Why then would the Big Guy have been paid?

Why was Hunter paid $500k yearly by a Ukrainian gas company, despite not speaking Ukrainian and having no expertise in the field?

It seems where there is smoke, there’s fire, no?

I listened to the podcast that the founder did about a week ago. It reminded me of how retired folks in the middle class open a restaurant when they don't know anything about running a restaurant. Except this dude isn't investing $1M on a McDonalds, he's investing hundreds of millions.

He seemed almost proud of his inexperience, and nearly said that it gave him an "advantage" because existing engineers weren't willing to "innovate."

Krasnov has been dealing with the Russians for ~40 years. I think he has an idea.

avmich · 15 days ago

In general he's not particularly good with having ideas, and this particular might get too hard as well.

Ideally that should have been started by Bush in 2008, or Obama in 2014.
