We are repeating dark history in real time and it's being actively cheered on by a bloodthirsty mob who have no regard for innocent civilians and kids.

> it's being actively cheered on by a bloodthirsty mob who have no regard for innocent civilians and kids. What are you referring to here specifically? Genuinely curious. I haven’t encountered much anti-Russian sentiment (yet), I’ve only noticed anger towards Putin, his cronies, and their soldiers. As far as I can tell, most understand that the Russian people didn’t choose this despite how little they did (or could d…

What do you mean by that, you can buy and earn DAI and MIM without KYC, and they continue to function autonomously whether the founders have a regulatory issue, have survived and maintained their peg during volatile stress tests with the collateral, and they can be sold without KYC, they also cannot freeze an individual address Edit: to your edit, thats not accurate, all data is available onchain and can be read, new…

thats not accurate, all data is available onchain and can be read, new dai and mim can be created by adding collateral, programmatic interaction is done via ABIs, there is no need for a third party API even if they are offering one Youre saying, atm , all solutions are KYC-rooted but you can create a grey area yourself without being KYCed yourself (if youre lucky). Youre certainly right. FYI I was giving a practical…

> a lot of people seem ok with punishing Russian individuals for the actions of the government. Its easy to say that but you have to look at the bigger picture. It's easy to say "just punish the government / the oligarchs", but as most Westerners know, these people have become extraordinarily adept at hiding their money and distributing their assets. So it is very difficult indeed to target them per-se, hence you nee…

I feel like you are conveniently skipping the part where millions of ordinary Russians are being economically devastated by broad brush sanctions that punish the poor and middle class Russians who are innocent of war crimes, simply because they were unfortunate to be born in the wrong country and they may justifiably be afraid for their lives if they protest. For those who say beat the war drums, punish them all, jus…

>but I can see why they want Ukraine, a country that is in their borders, to stay in their orbit. Ukraine is not a Russian region that wants to separate, it is a independent democratic country and Putin pretends is part of Russia. I can also see why Putin wants Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia(he said he wants to restore URSS) but why should we say "bad luck, let him have them and let's buy more gas"

I managed to escape the country yesterday, had to flight to Egypt of all places, because ALL (even business) tickets were sold out. The recent news is that starting March 6 all international flights are suspended, the trap has closed. The disheartening thing is that even if you never supported Putin, other countries treat you as enemy. I am at Georgia now and banks refuse to open bank accounts to Russians, and I need…

FYI, I heard that Georgia plans to introduce visas for Russians, because local population begins to worry of all the immigrants taking jobs. Meanwhile, in Russia's remote places (small town in Ural region) some grocerry shops have imposed food rationing for essentials (sugar, bread, wheat, flour, etc) because of panic-bying. And it's snowing as if during Ragnarök, nordic end of times. Among my friends and relatives w…
