I notice a number of shops are posting digital downloads that are simply messages of support. I hate that they have to do that, but I'm glad there is a way for them to get actual real support now.

Not that 5mil rubles is going to be worth all that much soon, but I hope a lot of soldiers take them up on this.

I agree. I feel like there can be acts of heroism but that doesn't change the underlying fucked-up dynamics that are in play. But to me, I think you can acknowledge both. Appreciating the act of heroism doesn't mean you are necessarily giving a pass on the other stuff. Others may not agree and that's ok.

Idk how possible this is, but it would be awesome since Russia is responsible for a huge portion of red notices, and most of them are hyper-politically motivated...like blatantly labeling dissidents as terrorists/violent extremists and calling for their arrests. Also Russia has ignored US sponsored red notices many a time. Interpol as a whole needs to be reworked, but thatโs a separate conversation.
