Re: Just don't bother.

Russia has already done that a few times.

Russian friends I talk to freely admit their country is run by kleptocrats but also ask what they can do when the gangsters have guns.

Cutting Russia off plays into the hands of those in power. Information _is_ power and those who can control its flow to the masses wield much

UUCP was a _very_ powerful tool back in the 1990s. Store and forward/burst mode will be again if authorities attempt to clamp down on free flow of data
