After the full-scale invasion began, manufacturer Leica Camera AG @leica_camera announced it would be leaving Russia.
But an investigation by The Insider shows the company stayed on Russian market and might be supplying binoculars and rifle scopes to Russia that could be used for military purposes.
Laser rangefinders and levels from the Swiss company Leica Geosystems are also arriving to Russia through third countries.
Leica lists "passion and perfection" among its values. How does financing the terrorist state's war waging capability and killing Ukrainians work with these values?

@seattlethough@KBAndersen@MollyJongFast I agree 100%. Ideally, an immigration system should keep dangerous people out. It doesn’t take 15, 2 or even 1 year to figure that out. The process compounds bad policy, making something already dubious, inhumane.
@seattlethough@KBAndersen@MollyJongFast My point is, the absurd Kafkaesque bureaucracy hurts everyone & spineless politicians are more afraid of their primary voters than making any kind of sensible reform.
@seattlethough@KBAndersen@MollyJongFast I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. In our case, abusing the system would mean having three kids in 15 years just to have chance at a life in a country with a dysfunctional political system, costly health care & rampant gun violence.
