Not sure where you are from but it seems that the world is okay with buying from Russia again.
The US is allowing the purchase of Russian oil again.
I agree with you, but whatever Kagi is paying is nothing in comparison with governments (that people voted for) sending Russia money
I also don't like giving money to Russia, but unfortunately Yandex seems like the last big search engine not to censor a lot of results (I know it won't last forever).
What kind of results are other engines censoring?
Piracy websites, adult content, etc.
Also, Yandex image reverse search seems way more unfiltered than Google's counterpart.
The EU has received at least 69 shipments of Russian LNG in 2026. At this point, who isn't trading with Russia?
The world might be, I am not.
But your first sentence is interesting: this should not depend on where someone is from. I think it's rather sad that it actually does depend on it in practice: if bombs are dropped on your head, you take things seriously, if bombs are dropped on your neighbors' heads', somewhat less so, and if you're half a planet away, let's do business!
I make my own choices so that I can sleep better. I know this isn't popular. The usual approach is either whataboutism ("but what about X which is worse?") or doesntmatterism ("the thing you care about doesn't matter in the Large Scale of Things"). If you read the replies in this thread, almost all of them can be classified into one of those two stances. Importantly, each stance leads to doing nothing.
I don't subscribe to either of those ideologies. I don't have all the answers, but I do not believe that doing nothing is the right answer.
The world != the US
