Yeah but think of that McMansion you could build in rural Bashkortostan with that kind of
salary! Maybe Musk would appreciate their "relaxed constraints". I hear those
Ruskies are good at math.

Yeah. The asymmetry between the actual size of Russia/Putin and its influence
is [in|not]credible. I suppose it's a bit similar to Ireland, at least
culturally, but also as a haven for tax dodging. In addition to hard tech like
drones, it's unclear to me why we don't use soft tech more often. Hell, even
simple ddos attacks on RF state media outlets might help with some of the
propaganda. Where is Anonymous? Where is Palantir? Oh, right, the script
kiddies and Thiel probably support Putin. [sigh] Perhaps we can regard Putin
simply as a well-intentioned disrupter ... those middle-man fees Ukraine gets
routing oil are exactly like taxi medallions. Pfft.

It seems like a great excuse to sell renewable tech. to Germany as well as LNG.
And even if there are “investments” find a better steward for them. Russia
is like an undiversified economy about the size of Florida.
I wonder what kind of havoc US supplied drones could unleash on Russian troops..

I can't help but wonder what "investments" we have over here.
