It would be cowardly not to do so.

Edit: It seems like he has responded to other comments but not this one.

Not for Tesla. So many interventions. So many situations where the car actively tries to kill the driver and pedestrians.

He's just not that unique. The employees should be paid more and Tim should be paid less.

Your comment is misleading:

"Turkey called Russia's invasion of Ukraine a "war" on Sunday in a rhetorical shift that could pave the way for the NATO member nation to enact an international pact limiting Russian naval passage to the Black Sea."

"Under the 1936 Montreux Convention, Turkey has control over the Dardanelles and Bosphorus straits that connect the Mediterranean and Black seas and can limit the passage of warships during wartime or if threatened."

Clearly they are reconsidering what they said.

I'm not deflecting at all. You are posting lie after lie.

> Also if you want to fight for a cause go there do it I'd respect that. What I dont respect is people giving money for something thy absolutely would not fight for.

You don't respect people that fight for their lands but you respect uninvolved parties joining in? Why don't you go there yourself and convince them you are right instead of posting on HN?

You are being dishonest as you well know. Ukrainians are against the war Russia has started but they support the war effort as it defends their lands.
