Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Under direction from Putin, Russian banks lent Trump money after every other bank in the world stopped lending to him because he's irredeemably corrupt. Now Russia is selling diesel to Trump. Nobody else in the world will, because they know the shortage is Trump's fault.
