I guess Baba Yaga is not folklore anymore.

This is the US's war, and it is losing.

They are advancing quite a bit, actually when looking over the BBC and institute of war maps. Just chugging and grinding along, and now the northern side is beginning again. Drones may help, but they aren't going to stop it.

Which country? Both have conscription.

GrapheneOS senior developer just got conscripted against his will

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When ...

Fuck US warmongering

Could be either side. There's great talent and good people on both sides. Forcing them to kill each other is evil I pray the war will end soon

I know. If I didn't pay my taxes I'd eventually get arrested. This is the wartime version of that. He refused to cooperate with conscription and unsurprisingly got arrested. Other people are risking their lives to keep him safe – the onus is on him to do his part too. Probably best I don't say more details at this point. But in general, crypto tech people keep on getting themselves in trouble with this because they're selfish idiots. Of course, if he were Russian it'd be an entirely opposite situation. All Russians have a moral ditu to evade their government, e.g. by leaving Russia, or sabotage. Paying Russian taxes and contributing to their economy is a deeply evil act.

This isn't a symmetrical situation. Good people who could have almost all left Russia already. Contributing to the Russian economy is fundamentally evil given the scale of the war. Russians have a moral duty to either leave, or make up for their presence with, e.g. sabotage.

I don't disagree. Was just curious, as they didn't say. My guess is Russia, but I have no idea.

Suffice to say if the dev was Russian, I'd saying so very loudly... I'll respect their wishes not to make it explicitly public. But I'm sure you can guess.

Russia isn't advancing at a pace that allows them to actually win the war by capturing territory alone. Hence their efforts to crush the Ukrainian economy (and spirit) with endless attacks on Ukrainian civilians. That is much more concerning than the small amount of territory Russia is taking. Ukraine is taking territory as well where it can with minimal casualties.

The massive credulity you display in swallowing Ukrainian propaganda should be a cause for concern as to how easily you could be socially engineered or compromised in Bitcoin matters. True, it's probably a lot less easier on a subject that you actually have expertise in, but still cause for concern.

I personally know people in the Ukrainian military; I've been to Ukraine plenty of times during the war. This isn't propaganda. It's a big part of why I can reasonably safely visit.

So Trump is attacking Putin now? Sure thing 🤦‍♂️

Well no, perhaps not Trump, but definitely Biden and Nuland.
