  1. Huh? The ruble is worth 0.0092 USD. Not even a cent, in other words.

  2. Plenty of digital nomads in Thailand.

  3.  @acmelka  Yeah, tourist visas mostly. I used to be one of them. I didn't mind the visa runs one bit.

  4.  @E_O_S_  It's said that every country has the government it deserves. That's true for Russia at least.

  5.  @АртёмЛепехов  No, why? I make sure not to have any business dealings with Russia, directly and indirectly. Also, I make it a point to boycott companies that still do business in Russia.

  6.  @antoniussamuelson3748  You do have a reputation for "reclaiming" land, and it's not from the sea.

  7. ​ @antoniussamuelson3748  I can do one better. We've got lands across the border that we had settled since the last ice age ended. Reclaiming it would require WW3, so no. Moreover, religion makes a poor excuse for territorial expansion, especially when different religions waxed and waned among the original inhabitants, like in historical Palestine. Their genetics are an inextricable jumble with no correlation with religion. Interestingly, Arab and European genetic features are the best clue among the present inhabitants, but it remains a hit and miss affair.

  8. Russia has been actively preventing software engineers from leaving. We hired five. I bet they're earning us more money than your Oreshnik ever will.

  9. Not yet. But will BRICS countries have visa waivers for one another? Yay, that goes a long way in solving our refugee problem.

  10. Sure, and only Putin's. It's absolutely vital for his self-preservation.

  11.  @WAWACreations  That's the thing. That's why it's still mostly tourist visa. One of the best parts of being a digital nomad is the variety you get to enjoy by travelling from place to place. I did the rounds, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, even Singapore and Hong Kong.

  12. No can do, that's an entirely fictitious proposition.

  13.  @Укрыниксы  You've got it backwards. Take your Orc troops out of Ukraine and it all ends.

  14.  @naturallife1724  Hey bot, that does not compute.
