@apropos @augustus @awl What is the SMO? I don't think that I am familiar with it. The politics in Eastern Europe are confusing to me.

The other thing that gets me is that Ukraine just had to wait for another generation or so, to remain neutral until then. Maybe play both sides. But eventually Russia would be consumed into the West and then basically neutralised, they were heading in that direction before this war began and completely cut them off. I can't believe how buddy-buddy my country were about Russian investment here when we shouldn't be supporting foreign investment on the things that matter for our country, like our main sports games or public infrastructure... or even the banking system. Or, heaven forbid, investment in our politics. What is that all about?
