SIAP. Harvard Law 2L quits his summer associate position over firm's refusal to sever financial ties with Russia:
QuoteIn his post, Donahue also included the following message to all firms that believe it’s acceptable to continue operating in Russia: “Russia is a pariah state, not your emerging market. Your pro bono programs and equality initiatives won’t wash away the stain of working for war criminals. Further increases in starting pay for associates is not the way to attract talent. That might be enough for some to look the other way, but not for me and many others. Expect more to walk away. To be sure, I firmly believe in the right of all criminal defendants to be represented by counsel, a right I fully expect Putin to exercise when he is dragged to The Hague. But doing transactional work that enables the Russian war machine? That’s a choice. And yours speaks volumes.”

Hey, if we're bringing him into this:
"You are, all of you, amateurs. And international affairs should never be run by gentlemen amateurs. Do you have any idea of what sort of place the world is becoming all around you?"

The words I used, "in CCCP/Russia", are there for a reason. The extent of their internal security apparatus and the fear they crush their fellow countrymen with are highly relevant imo. Perhaps you disagree but try using logic and/or history instead of snark.
Relax. Its a joke

The Russian soldiers are just kids. They’ve been thrust into a fucking meat grinder by an evil madman. I continue to hope for mass surrender in lieu of mass slaughter. Because I can only imagine how terrified and morally conflicted my own son would be in that situation, and how angry and despondent we would be to see our child sent to war for the sole benefit of some narcissist asshole.
Fuck you, Putin, you miserable pussy.
Yeah, I'd rather the dead kids be the ones holding guns on foreign soil than those holding toys at home, but I'm not celebrating it either.

Next month, when the average Russian citizen is eating grasshoppers and flower petals while reading the news written on a piece of bark, he's gonna think "man, the world really loves them some Nazis."

If any of y'all were under the illusion that this was going to end without stacks of innocent Ukrainian bodies, you need to get right with reality.
This will get brutal. It will get horrific. Tens of thousands of people are going to die. And it can't be stopped without triggering WWIII.
Putin is intent on murdering civilians and destroying cities, because it is the only military option he has left. And here is the horrible, Machiavellian truth: that is EXACTLY how he loses. When Putin becomes a war criminal on the world stage, there is no going back. There is no saving him, or this gambit. When this happens, his oligarch pals will know that the die is cast - stick with Putin, and lose everything. Depose him, and save something.
Are people saying otherwise?

Yes hello, my son was stabbed on a Los Angeles subway by a Biden voting homeless man (probably illegal), but thanks to the LAPD, he was not injured. Anyway, thanks for listening. Vote Trump!

I'm seriously not sure, are you acting like it's some sort of revelation that self-identified Republicans just answer that Biden is wrong regardless of the question? You didn't actually expect Republicans to answer that a Democratic president was "too tough" on something, did you?
Other than the ones actively supporting Russia, of course.

I saw a FB post from a HS classmate that said something to the effect of "President of Ukraine is Jewish, Putin is a conservative christian...just saying"
I'd tell him to put a bullet in his head. Maybe he'll do it AND you'll get permanently banned from FB. Two birds, one stone.

Vlad doesn't have THAT much power, especially right now, to kill off oligarchs thousands of miles away. Two things...first, plausible deniability, maintain it at all times. Second, if you go for the king's crown, don't swing and miss. If and when he goes down, you can bet those that helped bet on his demise will be left in MUCH better shape vs those who were backing him to the end. And I can assure you, all those oligarchs are thinking about themselves and their own money 10000x before Putin's well being pops into their head.
I'm not talking about Vlad killing them. I'm talking about the power vacuum that will exist should Vlad fall. Would you feel safe as an Oligarch in that world? Vlad offers protection - even if offered with a side of polonium should you veer too far. Collaborators and buddies of dictators usually don't fare all that well when the regime crumbles.

The yatchs, or more appropriately the mindset that drives the oligarchs to build them is a perfect place to start setting the seeds for internal strife. Next will be grounding their planes and force them either into isolation or to return home.
The massive loss of personal wealth and destruction of the oligarchs lifestyle is what will force someone to try and take down Putin from the inside.
The Russian people may be able to overthrow the government, but that is something months or years in the making through crushing economic conditions and famine. The oligarchs though are in some ways easier to motivate.
So if the Oligarchs (Putin's cronies and the only people to benefit from his regime) help topple him, they are going to be treated like . . . what exactly when the dust clears?
If I'm an oligarch, I ride with Vlad. Sure, my wealth will be slashed dramatically. But its better than my throat.

I get that, but this isn't a roll-your-eyes stunt over the firm's insistence on using on non-Fair Trade Coffee in the break room.
