Re: Entirely fault of US government (would you rather have a world war?)
If you are blaming the US for sanctions against Russia, too bad! Instead of whining you could do something about their invasion of Ukraine but you are as big a wimp as our President is.
Don't bother creating new data centers there, the only ones who use credit cards in Russia are tourists and there aren't many of those anymore and likely won't be in the future. Let the Russians create their own systems and their own problems. Putin et al deserve way more punishment than these weak sanctions anyway. Maybe they can have the Russian Business Network too! I say Balkanize everything.
I rather figure that any Russian complaining about the US invading mideastern countries is just like the pot calling the kettle black. The Russians once took half of Europe and are looking to take it back again after they signed treaties. Ask any Ukrainian...not all of them favor the east over the west.
I didn't see anyone in Europe have over 3,000 casulties on one day. That excuses alot of "invasions" in my mind.
The Brits and their corporations are as culpable in these mideast wars as anyone else (who set up the countries borders anyway), but lets not forget the Germans and Russians who sell nuclear and other technology to the middle east without any regard to whom and exacerbate the problems that cause even more angst.
Anyone who blames the military industrial complex anymore for this is both ignorant and a shill. Cry me a river over the Syrian and Palstinians, they are too tribal to be in charge of anything let alone countries.
