It wasn’t just crimea, the coup/invasion of the donbass area happened in 2014 as well. It was extremely poorly reported in mainstream media because the Obama admin didn’t want to rock the boat and thought they could talk Putin down

No this is correct. Obama was much more restrained towards Russia, probably keeping in mind the disaster of the Georgian invasion in 8/8/08. He ignored a lot of bad shit that went down in 2014, going against the hawkish members of his own cabinet as well. Lethal aid started under trump

No, any CEO that tried to do this would get eaten alive, if not immediately by their board/investors then a bit later by competition from more ruthless ceos. In a capitalist system they literally have no other choice.

I don’t really see any way to fix it from the inside. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, and not by methods they’re going to like. I’m with bill burr here

uhh could you clarify for me how the fediverse works? I thought it was like 90% mastodon which is very much the twitter format
