Some bans should have happened a long time ago: mainly banning Russian athletes because of their Olympic cheaters.

Others are completely terrifying: I didn't elect Google to conduct my foreign policy. RT should be allowed in Europe until EU nations make a decision on the matter.

Some are simply ridiculous: what did cats ever do to you?!

And few can be seen as a justifiable company policy: I don't find it out of the ordinary that some companies would not want to deal with any risk that could rise from doing business in an unstable warring country.

@alyx @smugumin Some I blame the Russians for. What kid of retard thinks Google/Apple pay is a good idea? Let's put our ability to transact in the hands of a private company run by psychopaths! Total goy move.
@alyx @smugumin We all know the Russians have a history of cheating in the Olympics. Do a better job testing then. Isn't the whole point of the Olympics supposedly transcending the divide of borders, wars, and conflict in the name of competition? And the Paralympics doesn't get enough credit already so now it's just further smacked down when it's the biggest event for a lot of disabled athletes who already have a smaller pool to play with due to the restrictive nature. Very lame IMO.

@alyx @smugumin Shaming a nation and all its people works well. Just look at Germany post-WWI. Turned out great :)
