So 2 people are referenced in the article by name and Google has what, almost 200k employees?

At least 2 less with morals and spines

The last two non-evil employees at Google.

So 2 engineers are named, both had pretty splashy blog posts, and Liguori appears to have timed her resignation with the release of two big interviews as well.

Neither Liguori, nor Kirsch are American citizens. From what I can tell, neither even worked in America.

I guess I don't see how this is news worthy? Would anyone care at all if two American engineers quit their tech jobs because the Canadian or Japanese militaries were contracting their product?

So, apparently the bbc has started charging Americans.

Are you saying that the BBC, which is an institution of His Majesty's Government, is issuing taxation upon Americans without representation?

You must not read much BBC if you're just noticing this(not that there's anything wrong with that). It's been this way for over a year at this point.

This kind of extreme pacifism is exactly what Putin and Xi are hoping for.

Probably not, for all that America seems to be taking their side.
