        They pay taxes to Russia through their russian substudios - they are funding the war in official tax records. You cant really bs your way out of that, you useful idiot. Dont Buy Russian Made Products Unless You Want To Fund The Killing of Ukrainians.

          That’s like saying you give money to Russia any time you buy anything because credit processors have subsidiaries in Russia or own capital in Russia (even if current NAV is 0). It’s just not realistic to worry about.

          So yeah, enjoy being a “useful idiot” every time you swipe your credit card, I suppose.
