There is: stop buying gas and oil from Russia. This is where the money you’re talking about come from. The bombs that are destroying Ukraine are bought with Western money.

But oh no, we can’t do it, we can’t have prices go up when inflation is already high. So we will make life harder for Russian people who oppose the war as a feel good measure instead.

In this case you’re not hitting an enemy, though, you are hitting someone who’s actually on your side.

What Russia is doing now is terrible and completely fucked up, but having the US as the only superpower is also not good.

We need a place where Snowdens of the world could go.

As many have said, this is not whataboutism. Western companies also paid (and keep paying) for death and destruction in Ukraine.

It’s not a wild stretch to say that the whole thing was financed through selling gas and oil to the West.

Google and Apple removed Russian opposition apps from their app stores and Facebook censored groups that they used to coordinate because, you know, “we have to comply with the laws of the country we operate in”. They also pay taxes in Russia.

Are you trying to hold Russian IT companies to a higher standard than SV giants?..
