> have ties
This is doing a lot of work. at what point person starts or stops having ties with russia?
if you have any siblings or parents or grandparents or cousins or classmates or ex girlfriends who are living in Russia?
I know a bunch of foreigners with stronger ties to Russia than some of my Russian friends by this logic my friend;) especially Ukrainians and Israelis but really anywhere in the world. debank them all you say?
What it sounds like is the old USSR way "make sure most people are guilty of something so that if you want to press them you always have some excuse"
Not sure what your point is, I'm not arguing for debanking anyone related or having ties to Russia, in any way. But I do understand there are victims of other circumstances here, and that has a collateral victims (which again, I don't want, but it is the reality).
You're arguing against a point no one here made.
Remember you are replying to
> We are rapidly losing our freedoms to the will of these companies. If they decide they don't want to they can even if the law doesn't forbid it.
I asked some questions to see how solid your reply was. seems not very. you basically say nah, no one is losing freedom, people are only sanctioned if they have
this
> Nor have I heard anyone being sanctioned by the US in the EU unless they're Russia-related somehow
means you heard of ppl are arbitrarily sanctioned unless there is a specific criteria for what means Russia related
