Okay, what's your plan? You want Germany to roll over when Putin attacks? Germany should double that military budget :)

False. Exhibit A: China from 1980-Present. QED.

1. Opaque interview process with no feedback. Recently two interviews I attended went this way; After 5-6 rounds of tech discussion, the process ended with the recruiter not respon…

"Attempt"? You'd be in violation of The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Act of 1956. "Just doing it" is fine as long as its not outright illegal.

Iran is a special case for Israel. Israel isn't directly threatened by Pakistan having nuclear weapons.

What would prevent Russian authorities from taking action against local employees anyway? The buck stops at the government. The only options for private companies in these type of …

Start from here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storm-333 (Hint - It was the Soviets who went with their guns blazing to Kabul setting off a series of events causing inst…

Where did I say that any of the events in Afghanistan is justified? My point is, the reality in Afghan has many sides, and none of them look good. Blaming one party is stupid. Also…

One man's journalist is another man's .... ;-)

Where exactly is the so called tech talent shortage? I would certainly like to immigrate there. (Australia is out of bounds now, but which parts of Asia are you referring to?) Also…

Tangential but genuine question - can you please provide examples of such countries?

I think you and the parent commenter don't understand the ground realities in such countries. A lot of stuff will remain "on paper" or in "official" communications. There is no way…

Not that I agree with the root comment, but China is not that large without Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Inner Mongolia. These provinces also have the least population densities -…

In a liberal country that is. I am sure certain single party dictatorships can regulate any company of any size within a day.

Yes. These are the major reasons not the "only" reasons. Sure, there will be a few percentage of people who are irresponsible, but we have to look at the big picture as well. Mass …

Story of most countries in the East. We would rather claim that there is no problem rather than accept, analyze, and possibly come up with solutions.
