This, and the Canadian truckers [and the second and third cousins of the Canadian truckers] are a lesson to all of us:
Yes, they are Russians, but this really could happen to any of us depending on the whims of the corporate wokenocracy.
Fascism like that hardly turns the Russian citizenry against Putin. Just as likely it makes them hate all western institutions.
Cutting off credit to all Russian civilians is bullshit.
They didn’t start a war.

If they were each carrying a small wad of US hundred dollar bills in their pockets they would be ok.
At least they’re in Thailand - my favorite WESTPAC port of call.
“Yes, they are Russians, but this really could happen to any of us depending on the whims of the corporate wokenocracy.”
ABSOLUTELY. Just imagine getting on the wrong side of a future gun confiscation and being in South America or something...de-personed. 40 years ago, people would take Travelers Checks, far harder to de-person someone in another country when they have a stack of them.
It’s almost worth the war just to bring out what can now be done to Americans.
As an aside: this is kinda what a cashless system will let the global elite do to ANYONE.
The Revelation to John says this is what they are heading towards.
This is yet another argument for Crypto Currency. If they had access to crypto, they could turn it into cash in other countries like Thailand. Western governments can’t shut down crypto currencies with a few keystrokes either.
Thailand?
They will all have Unionpay cards soon.
That doesn’t affect putin at all. It accomplishes nothing.
At least they will have homes to return to that haven’t been destroyed by the invading Ukrainian military when they get the cash to finally go home.
Worse places to be stuck in.
