So, the Brexit-ized, third world UK thinks they can order Apple around?
Good luck with that, blokes.

Isn't it about time Scotland ditched the UK and joined the civilized Scandinavian countries? There was talk of it a while back.

Clueless…

If we we were you can be sure that Putin and his Orcs would have been booted out of Ukraine long ago…

This is from a country whose largest export to the world is disinformation… obviously fake.

Disinformation, hydrocarbons, and death.

Reagan was right about there being an evil empire. But the evil wasn’t due to the communism, it was due to the sadistic authoritarianism inherited from the czars. 

The story on YT is most likely fake.

But you guys better seek help from psychiatrist if you react to anything with a word Russia or Russian like that.

No I don’t need to see a psychiatrist, nor do any of my Russian friends who agree with me on this. Maybe you should stop watching RT…

I did not write anything about the state. This article is about tech and bloggers from Russia, yet you bring your hatred toward the state into the comments. It’s not fair to judge all people based on your feelings about the government. 

And for the record, I’ve never watched RT or had any Russian channels by any means. Well-brought-up people keep the focus on the topic and not let themselves badmouth others.

No you made huge assumptions that myself and others were xenophobic towards Russians, simply for pointing out the issues in Russia that extend far beyond the state. Ask any Russian who has escaped to the West and they will tell you how Putin has twisted and distorted Russian culture to pursue his political aims. As a result he has produced a society where corruption, crime, dishonesty and racism are rampant. Hardly surprising given that Putin is a kleptocrat who has had link with Russian organised crime since his early days in St Petersburg after his mediocre KGB career.
But this did not all begin with Putin, Russia’s dysfunctional society can be back through Stalinism and Communism and even back to the days of the Tsar. Putin has simply amplified the worst of Russian society while destroying the best of its culture.
