Russia's communications watchdog plans to block Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) from March 1 next year, a Russian senator for the ruling United Russia party said on Tuesday.
Welp, their threat doesn’t affect me. I have no care for that barbaric country.
Besides, I’ve blocked everything geo-labelled as Russia anyway, it makes for much easier firewall logs. Honestly “the West” as russians say, should flat out block the entire country to our internet.
This would stop a lot of hacking and exploiting, and they’re basically dictating everything to their people at this point, so let them just become a new N.Korea.
They want our tech, they don’t want to co-op or collab with the West and everything they have/do is inferior. Cut them off at the neck.
(Im biased, my mother’s parents were Polish and Ukraine, and I’ve been to both places many times and russia is an arsehat in general)
I understand you frustration but you are hurting everyone with this statement.
At this point, russia is still struggling for total control (not yet n korea) over their citizens. If we cut them off, we hand over the keys to everything russia to that insane individual.
This would have very dire implications.
russia would 10x their propaganda capabilities as there is no way to gain outside info for the people
russia would indeed become another nk but with 142 times the size, 6 times the population and very near the european borders
have you ever heard of the axis powers? They were tiny in comparison to russia. Now think who else would likely join that totalitarian power grab? China is already working with russia. Have you any idea how fucked we would be?
dividing the internet is actually in the interest of any propagandist in any country on earth. Far right movements anywhere would have a field day. Think of the mass murders that are first reported on the internet. They would go quietly in the future and much more successful.
Thats only what I could come up with in a couple minutes but cutting russia off is just not a good idea at all.
At this point, we should just go back to cold war footing as if Russia, China, and North Korea reformed into a new Soviet Union. They’re realigning themselves and we should get prepared for any eventualities.
After all, the Axis powers didn’t face a prepared allied force, but we now have NATO and the US’ island chain containment of China and North Korea. The former Soviet pact will have a greater uphill struggle to defeat the western world order than the Axis did.
But we’re always going to have trade with China up until the very last moment, and China likewise seems to not be keen on jeopardizing on trade, so there is hope yet that China doesn’t stick their neck out for Russia.
Oh and besides, Nazi Germany enjoyed far better parity on military technology than Russia ever will now.

But you’d also be giving their governments total control of all information, to the detriment of citizens and any possible organized resistance.
Mate, the Russian people aren't our enemy, but the Russian government that opresses them is.
