I fucking hate this country. Government supporting one side while idiot civilians do all they can to help the other. It's not a war crime, but I feel like it should be treason.

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he's acting against the interests of the US.

Honestly the term isn't used enough to describe Billionaires with how often they'll sell out their home country or the one they reside in.

We all realized in like 2007 that Facebook has a more comprehensive database on the populace than the FBI.
Then Snowden happened.
Our govt wanted no part in slowing down big tech creating a surveillance state. They all but gave them the green light.

Shit like this makes me think the CIA isn't nearly as powerful as we think they are.
