What does it have to do with 'Putin'?
It is not Putin's war. It is russian attacking ukraine. With elected leader, with overwhelming support. Every russian is responsible for every atrocity. Russians never was good in takin responsibility for their actions, always blaming 'the government' they elect and support. I have enough of this shit.

Elect? Support? Elections in Russia is a show. I'm afraid you don't see a difference between a democratic state and an authoritarian one (which Russia was even before turning into dictatorship).
Intel employees working for Intel in Russia are paying some taxes in Russia but generally benefit an US company. After loosing job in Intel they will have a hard time finding a job in rapidly failing economy and one of options they would have is to work in military-industrial complex. I'm sure Intel will be "happy".
Doors to leave Russia are rapidly closing and not from the Russian side. Western policies aimed to stop brain drain from Russia are completely misguided. I'm sure Putin is laughing in his nuclear shelter when he reads that EU countries are stopping granting visas to Russian citizens.
