Some people have trouble paying a company that's tightly coupled to the Kremlin

But companies tightly coupled to the White House are fair game? Seems pretty inconsistent.

No, there's a reason there's a pretty large "buy European" movement in Europe right now and why I compared Yandex to the US white-house-adjacent Palantir.

It is not really inconsistent. Despite all the flaws of the current US government, USA is still a relatively free democracy. Russia is a full-blown fascist dictatorship. Russia is also a much more acute threat to me than Trump's USA, because I am from central European country formerly in Soviet Union's sphere of influence, that would be next on the chopping block if Ukraine falls.

Odd attempt at whataboutism, since I think many would also be upset if Kagi was found to be paying Truth Social, for example.
