I don't consider the country name essential context. The point is that if any country does something the company doesn't like, they've shown they'll just drop the country. Whether you agree with what the country did or not.


AFAIK most of Namecheap’s employees are Ukrainian. It’s quite a bit more than “doesn’t like” when a country is actively trying to kill you and your family, more like “hate with the passion of a thousand burning suns”.


Frankly I wish more companies had the balls to do that.


Seems like the point here is that that country did something that was pretty, pretty bad (in their opinion, anyway) and decided to abide by their principles rather than maximize profit. I assume there are other capitalists out there who made the other decision.

I’m OK with that. I know which of those I’d prefer to work with. Sounds like you do, too.
