Apple has complied with Russian demands to show the annexed Crimean peninsula as part of Russian territory on its apps.

Russian forces annexed Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014, drawing international condemnation.

The region, which has a Russian-speaking majority, is now shown as Russian territory on Apple Maps and its Weather app, when viewed from Russia.

But the apps do not show it as part of any country when viewed elsewhere.

2. Gotta love capitulation to evil just to secure those sweet, sweet dollars...

NBA sucking on a Chinese dick to subvert Hong Kong freedom?
Done!

Turn on the Kurds and sell them out for Turkish hotel space and to appease a dictator?
Just good business, dontchaknow?

Apple giving Putin a reach around to further stab the Ukrainians in the back?
Why not? Fiduciary responsibility, amirite?

This shit has been going on for centuries....think about the power of the Catholic Church through the Dark Ages, or the Fascist sympathizers like Prescott Bush and the Nazis, or any of the more modern examples of recent vintage...

Fuck this entire society already...I am actually beginning to metaphorically warm to climate change kicking our ass and ending this for us since we have no ability to contain it on our own any longer...
