It’s like we’re dealing with Putin all over again but this time we’re somehow being told we should send him money and weapons instead of massive trade restrictions and immediate arrest for war crimes.

Please tell me this Zeus guy has been immediately removed from combat duty at the very least
As long as it’s an “official act” i don’t see why not
How long till the Taliban forces everyone back into making mosques the center of financial transactions?
None of that sounds nearly as unnerving as the insurrectionist convicted felon that Putin and other fascist nationalist organizations want to place into power who’s polling around 45%
Surely there’s some new largely unsettled land we can sail to to escape persecution and form a functional democracy?
I guess that Antarctica will be pretty green soon with people like Trump running things so maybe that’s an option.

Those are only a problem for Russia’s ambitions to conquer Ukraine. I.e. a problem for Putin’s ambitions, not Russians. NATO won’t even step into Ukraine to save an ally let alone invade a nuclear power like Russia.
Putin could’ve maintained good relations with gas importers, spent all this massive military funding on economic and infrastructure investments, and everyone but Putin would be happier for it.
I’m not advocating for free information because i think it’ll make a significant difference in current geopolitics or change how things would have gone. I simply view it as a human right. But I do think it is particularly important in a country that is in the process of violently suppressing increasingly important information (e.g. who the terrorist attackers were so Russia isnt in a blind rage against Ukrainian “butchers”). These small drips of reality into the information space do temper the level of dishonesty Russia can get away with. They aren’t quite yet to North Korean levels of mass delusion and if a tiny portion of Apple’s profit help spare people from that misery then it is a small price to pay for what little seed of hope that can sow for the future. Other countries have been expected to endure much more to deal with trade restrictions etc. so it’s a bit much that Apple can’t even do this tiny thing.
I’m not talking about the people happily living in self-delusion. We have plenty of those in the US too. Free information channels are still important and can be a crushing loss to the people who do care about reality.
God forbid Apple take a 0.01% hit to their profits to allow the flow of factual information to people stuck in Russia under a monstrous dictator.
Only if we do a better job teaching our kids to not grow up to be nazis, racists, or easy marks for manipulate dishonest politicians.
He will suck Putin’s dick so hard that Russia will learn to respect the US again and never dare to start another war
Everyone knows this, but it’s difficult to point out how dogshit Trump’s “plan” is if he refuses to state what his actual plan is.
As tends to happen in political discussion threads
Nah fuck this army I’m gonna go recruit some immortal ghost soldiers instead. Do whatever you want with these I’m out.
And yet somehow even with a Democratic House/Senate you know Trump will get plenty of mileage out of using this ruling to become emperor.
How bout we jail this insurrectionist for high crimes against the United States
