Take on the PornHub Russian outage

I can't think of any sensible person who wouldn't like to avoid an active hot war with Russia knowing the casualties will be incredible. The Biden administration, in its attempt for just that, has taken actions that are basically sanctions with them possibly eliminating SWIFT payments which would slow the Russian banking system down tremendously. But with the advent of crypto and competitors to SWIFT already on the market, this alone may not be enough to force Putin to back down. His country has gone through long cold winters before, his citizens are hardened and because it's a country which does not allow dissidents, it's one that doesn't cave easily.

But the west has a secret weapon, apparently those long cold winters are going to get longer and colder because Russians haven't been able to access PornHub which is akin to taking away their vodka. I can't tell you when this entire thing ends but it will when the story is told it will undoubtedly be toppled by the PornHub thing.

Then again, maybe it's actually Putin doing this, we all know that 95% of the content comes right out of the old Soviet states and he's just waiting for the American masses to start protesting to bring back the RedArmy's almost endless ability to produce bad porn.
