I think most people are missing the strategy of modern Russian warfare. Is Russian going to roll tanks and soldiers into the Baltics this year? Probably not.

Russia is using more of an asymmetrical approach to warfare with a ramp up. On the low end is the disinformation campaign. (News and religion: there are a lot of Orthodox in Latvia) Economic “Little Green men” Conventional warfare Nukes or the threat of nukes

I’m the Baltics they are in the disinformation and economic section of the ramp up and are worried about escalation.

Also note Russia goes up and down that ramp escalating and descalating as they did in Ukraine.

I don’t think you understand what decentralized means

If it’s a company laptop with a company policy chances are saying no to policy is saying no to that job. While seasoned employees can do that, new employees are SOL

I don’t know, but my best guess would be either it’s a publicly traded company and needs to disclose how it spends its money, or that taxes weren’t paid for the personal use funds

Is Antarctica no longer a continent?
