I'm going through resumes for a Cyber Security expert, needs to be US Citizen that can get and maintain Top Secret/SCI clearance. So many resumes from India, not eligible, even if they have a green card. The guy we picked had all the clearances and was Special Forces cyber security, and is still that in the Guard. Bonus: we got him from one of our top competitors.

I don't know what your org's building, but I bet it's hella' interesting!

Military contract

 

[Hamish Howl]

Calling bullshit on this one.

I'm not so sure. They have millions of those, and they're a simple rifle to operate and maintain.

If I had a bunch of conscripts, that's what I would issue.

 

[Chomsky]

But what if they never return to RU? following surrendering in UA.

Ah . . . you're thinking like me!

 

[Chomsky]

Well Ukraine will not keep them

You never know?

Given the circumstance, they may seek asylum. They're conscripts, you know.

A report released yesterday from the Chief Executive Leadership Institute of Yale School of Management reports a sliding scale of companies still active in russia here:

Over 1,000 Companies Have Curtailed Operations in Russia—But Some Remain

Cliff notes for some of the many American companies still active in russia:

Carl's Jr.
Sbarro Pizza
TGI Friday's
Abbott Laboratories
Bristol-Myers Squibb
Colgate-Palmolive
Domino's Pizza
Eli Lilly
Hilton
Hyatt
J&J
Merck
Nabisco
Pfizer
Subway

. . . among many (many, many) others.

 

[Chomsky]

Interesting. That city (Svotov), along with Troitske, appear to be the two main immediate tactical goals for the Kharkiv counter-offensive, as they command the main northern rail lines to Lysishank/Severodonetske/Donestesk - IOW the newly RU claimed Eastern Oblasts.

I'm sure those pharmaceutical companies are claiming they have to stay for "humanitarian reasons". Truth is, Russia as near zero ability to produce medications. If they had an ounce of integrity they'd burn down their plants and facilities and leave.

Let the masses of Russia that suffer without western drugs and treatments sooth themselves on Domino's Pizza.

I don't care about restaurants, but the pharma companies should face daily fines in the millions.

Heh. Parallel thoughts.

 

[Chomsky]

That's what they said but it doesn't mean they can settle in Ukraine. UA was referring to their well being as POW's.

The audacity of Urkraine not to give Russian enemy troops the key to the city after they surrender. What's this world coming too!

I can see the argument to be made perhaps for conscripts that claim refugee status.

In my humble opinion, Ukraine ought to put Kherson on the back burner and transfer some forces to the North to finish the job. Take that rail line through one of those two cities and the whole game changes.

 

[Yakshi]

I only made the list of active U.S. companies in russia so short because I'm inherently lazy.

The actual list is ridiculous.

You'll get no love for Russia out of me, but this one's fake.

How did it work when Americans went to Canada to escape the Vietnam draft?

I found this:

Starting in 1965, Canada became a choice haven for American draft evaders and deserters. Because they were not formally classified as refugees but were admitted as immigrants, there is no official estimate of how many draft evaders and deserters were admitted to Canada during the Vietnam War.

 

[Chomsky]

Wow. Fascinating. I feel like I just spent time on Truth Social . . .

Hm. I dunno. Never a good idea to take your foot off their neck when making progress. Then, what are the efficiency losses from the movement.

I'd also worry about reprisal counter-attack down south, bit given RU's dug-in & fortified, they may decline even if given the opportunity.

But yeah, your strategy would seem to have merit. But I don't have the skills to evaluate it!

We weren't at war with Canada.
