Huh, is the meat grinder not getting enough?

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 98 points 2 months ago

Probably also a massive brain drain to boot.

Yeah, I don't think this will help very much with that particular issue...

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 42 points 2 months ago

I don’t know. Maybe they need more cryptocurrency experts and sovcit hedge-lawyers to help with getting around sanctions

They can have them.

Preferably before November.

I have bad news for them if they think accepting people running from "Western liberal ideals" is going to help with that somehow.

“If it works for Isis, surely this will work for me.”

Odd thing is, he might not be far off. He could try to sell some incels on hot single Russian women whose men have all died in 60 year old tanks. Also maybe some gravy seals might be willing to sign up. Maybe when Trump loses he’ll move there followed by some of his MAGA cult, and they’ll be this English speaking enclave in Russia somewhere. Could be the premise for a sci-fi tv show.
