How long before Duolingo cancels Russian language learning?
I have a renewed interest in learning it.

This is good. Instead of relying on consumers to boycott these bad companies, they are taking the initiative and doing it for the customers. Samsung recently aired a pro-homosexual ad in Singapore which was removed after major backlash. This shows that even South Korea has decided to be like the USA and export woke values abroad.
I wonder when Samsung will pull manufacturing out of China and move it back to South Korea. After all, they claim to care about human rights and China is known to restrict freedoms from their own citizens. I also wonder when they will stop sales in China and Saudi Arabia. I am sure they will make an announcement very soon. If they don't, this is an insincere move.
Maybe Russia will create their own brands just like China has done. This will be very good for Huawei sales.
Very good question to ask and the fact few people reverse the situation before chanting anti-Russian messages is a huge concern.
I watched an analysis of Jay Dyer on this topic and he describes how this has been set up to go vasty beyond any regional political/military conflict, but is in fact a clash of Western/Eastern (globalism/traditionalism) ideology, with the goal to push Russia off the grand chessboard of geopolitics. That explains why all the West is in line now to literally cancel the nation of Russia, as this thread rightfully is called. Because in the future perspective of the globalist overlords, they cannot have this piece of the chessboard standing straight up in the game. The goal here then, assuming this is the case, is the literal destruction of Russia and its traditional ideology, hence the attacks on all levels political, economic, social, financial. Russia would have to come out of this eventually as an impoverished, broken, divided and conquered landmass with a fractitioned population, with Putin and his allies obviously replaced by a Western puppet regime, which would lead to the rapid Westernization/sodomization/degredation/degeneracy of Russia, with segments of the population especially youngsters already groomed for it through the internet and global media.

She said something along the lines of it can't be compared because what Russia is doing is worse.
There is a lot of hubris from the Western elites to think their products, services, and corporations are "essential" to human life. Many of us here rightly criticize modernity as soul-destroying, and it's these sorts of organizations that are gleefully cancelling Russia that are the main stewards of societal degradation. Video games, Coca-Cola, CNN, Airbnb, Samsung, and Apple are gone? Good riddance! The Russian people probably can't feel it now, but what is happening to them is a huge blessing if they use it to self-examine themselves and their culture before returning to a traditional, Orthodox way of life that their ancestors knew. It's within their reach. I'm jealous that the people who I know hate my beliefs and Lord Jesus Christ are not cancelling me right now. If you're on this forum, it's safe to assume they hate you too, and they will not hesitate to destroy you when they have the opportunity, which I believe will come for many of us soon enough.
"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who came before you."

Russia has its own payment system ironically called “Peace”
A long life is a pubishment
Yeah, when you put it like that, it’s not much different from the hysterical non-stop attacks on Trump, or indeed any politician around the world who advocates nationalism/traditionalism against the cancerous tentacles of globalism. But the hysteria is even more extreme because unlike blustering Trump, Putin seems to be much more than just talk. He really does seem intent on liberating his country from the shackles (shekels) of U.S. and Western hegemony.

The blocking of all visa and mastercard transactions is the biggest "act of war" against normal people in this whole situation. Both Russians AND foreigners in Russia are now directly affected.
It insures that almost NO tourist going to Russia can pay for anything unless they bring a huge pile of cash with them. Something that is increasingly difficult as countries around the world limit the amount of cash you can take with you across borders. The only exception are the Chinese, who might be able to pay for things with Unionpay cards, but I'm unsure how widely these are accepted in Russia.
At the same time, citizens of Russia who are abroad on vacation or for business at this moment (with Visa and Mastercard cards issued in Russia in their pockets) can no longer pay for ANYTHING while they are outside their own country. Unless these Russians have a backup card issued by a non Russian bank (or a non russian bank account) they now also find themselves unable to pay anything abroad, have to very quickly find a solution, or get back home immediately.
Finally, all those people who live permanently in Russia, are now blocked from paying for things anywhere inside their own country. These will cause a huge run on the banks inside Russia in the coming days as people desperately try to get cash.
This is chaotic and catastrophic situation, which potentially affects more than 100 million people who have nothing to do with what is happening in Ukraine.
I have my doubts if this will really anger Russians so much that they will want to topple Putin.
These 100 million very pissed off Russians may now start to hate the west with a fury never seen before.

Resident Street Fighter enthusiast here: M.Bison is actually not Thai at least not officially, Thailand is just where his criminal organization Shadaloo is headquarted. Bison is some kind incorporeal being that routinely switches between bodies. Actually Cammy the British blonde chick was supposed to be one of his replacement bodies. It will be interesting to see what Capcom does with Zangief though. He's a very important character to the SF franchise, I don't think they'll cuck and cancel him. Maybe he'll sit out a game and eventually this thing will blow over and they'll bring him back. Sorry for the nerd detour.
I like to imagine Bison as some kind of indo-chinese (that includes more than one county) military/criminal (opium?). But he is too tall for an asian guy. He is the most mysterious charachter in the SF universe.

Huh didn't know that, my only understanding of Bison was from the live action movie with Van Damme. I think if they decide to keep Zangief they will probably make him a late DLC choice like three or four years down the road assuming the situation in Ukraine doesn't escalate into WW3, although my inner conspiracy theorist also thinks all of these sanctions were planned ahead of time because the elites have some sort of long term goal so who knows, it would suck though if Zangief as well as Kolin whos the newer Russian character from SFV get axed.
How is it going to be a brain drain? Where will Russians leave to where they can be treated like normal human beings? Pretty much every Russian in the (((west))) must denounce Russia if not give up their citizenship soon if they don't want to be canceled. It won't be a brain drain into our countries, at any rate. Russians will be forced to work together or perish.
