> For oligarchs and elites, yes only putting complete economic lockdown could work. No way to travel and buy yourself or your kids comfy western way of life. I don't think that can work. Russian elites absolutely value power over Western way of life. Sanctions are only needed to starve Russian economy to a point where it cannot finance war - and it has been a mixed success so far, but in principle can work.

> mixed success

How do you define mixed success? It has been a more spectacular failure than the Ukranian summer counter offensive

Not a question, only my best wishes as an early NAFO member. You are in my thoughts, and not only: I have also been donating, flagging trolls, countering misinformation, encouraged politicians and done what I can but I still owe your people. I feel I can admit this here without feeling I am bragging since this account is anonymous and will stay so. My goal by saying it is to say you are bit alone and also hopefully t…

I admire what you're doing! Ukraine still stands because of you and people like you. Be sure, that despite having a destroyed house and maintaining Wasm3 I'm still resourceful enough to: - donate money - donate skills - coordinate multiple mil-tech research groups - run own business - raise 2 kids - ... Cheers!

Hard to tell. It's a full (and dynamic) range. In general the life is mostly the same. Except we need to hide from missiles and drones, help UAF. Some of us have an additional burden of killіng the russkies ;) Oh, we also need to know the location of the closest nuclear shelter.

In my country we have alot of male Ukranians who have come to escape conscription. The attitude they have to the war is not very romantic. One of the companies I contract for has developers in Ukraine who are constanly hiding from conscription (ie changing location within Ukraine) because leaving now is too risky. So I wonder how does a person who is engaged in the war effort (you do military tech research) see this

So your strategy is to not have kids and hope you die before the baddies come to rape you?

What are you talking about?

Well you seem to scared of nuclear blackmail to the point of giving up.

Not only that, you publicly advocate for not helping Ukraine and condemning tens of millions of people to horrors is russian oppression.

So you are doing kremlins work exactly as they wish for.

You seem to understand that should we not help Ukraine then they will not stop. They still have nukes to keep scaring you.

What is your strategy?

I really hoped someone will help get rid of Putin from inside RU by this moment (I believe there are plenty of who may not necessary love him). EU should really put more cash on table to help UA.

Is it that easy to crypto-launder money? That ex-Amazonian got pwned but maybe he made a rookie mistake, I don't know

I see it similarly. It's not easy, both for refugees and those who are still here in Ukraine. However, everyone has a unique story and reasons to see it in a specific light. I know a LOT of people who are hiding, and at the same are doing everything they can, donate and develop high-tech stuff for UAF. The world isn't black/white, however, we know for sure that we MUST do everything so that the russia is stopped and this happens "never again".

Of course in our “freedom of speech” democratic western culture you can’t say this. How dare you? Ukraine on its own can’t win this war. Russia has way more reserves, people and resources. Not even talking about nuclear weapons. Do you really think Russia will accept losing this war? A nuclear superpower? Last resort they can send some nukes. So, why continue sending more weapons and money to a war which if escalates…

This viewpoint couldn't be more ruscist. Why do you push the terrorist mass murderer propaganda so hard?

I kinda misspoke, it's not just laundering per se, more like crypto being a workaround for sanctions generally. If you have crypto in some countries there are ways to withdraw it into cash and buy your kids iphones for days without much kyc. Remember Binance's ties to Russia. Or you can buy guns for your war from North Korea and pay them crypto. But yeah, for laundering there are mixers and friendly banks. NK uses Macao I heard. Russia probably HK.
