Cloudflare Weirdly Quiet on Russian Invasion of Ukraine Cloudflare's blog (https://blog.cloudflare.com/) has typically discussed the implications of major armed conflict on internet access in the affected countries. 7 days after Russia invaded Ukraine, their blog has been weirdly quiet, and they haven't made any public statements. What gives? |
If you were to say "I'm criticizing China's genocide", you'd have to give evidence of that genocide at this point.
The average Russian internet company and its developers have no part in this war. I don't see why they should be punished.
It seems like open discrimination and prejudice, no less toxic than people avoiding Chinese restaurants due to the coronavirus.
It's also deeply dangerous. Pushing an adversary into a corner can lead to isolation or further aggression. America has been battering North Korea with sanctions for decades, and they're more isolated than ever. However despicable this is, if the talks and negotiations stop then you should be seriously worried.
The China communist party has taken over Tibet, where they have implemented a police state and forced people into camps.

Same thing in East Turkistan

And now Hong Kong.
Same game play. Invade the place, liquidate/supress the population. Move your own people in.
However, sanctions have proven a very effective alternative to war. It's a way of punishing warmongers without anyone getting hurt too badly.
I don't know if it's ultimately effective, though. Something like this pushes both China and DPRK into Russia's corner. And then before you know it, you have WW3 on your hands.
