Aren't they just gonna have to import them again later for slave labor in the construction industry?

You are missing that Chain Analysis companies have extensive surveillance of the lightning network and that the privacy routing in Lightning is not there yet.

Conscription never backfired politically, right?

If Putin breached the borders of a NATO county, Trump might end the world with Nuclear Winter.

You'd need the US to pull out of NATO first. Even then UK and France have enough Nukes to cause irreparable damage the World.

To me, at least, the chance that Putin attempts to conquer Europe à la Napoleon or Hitler is close to zero.

Pretty sure historically it was mainly Germany Invading Russia and that never turned out that well.

Bitcoin still works to send value without permission. The price is mostly speculation at present but once enough important economic actors realize you can just send value without permission via Bitcoin, then the valuation will be justified.

You can count KYC'd/Custodial BTC in that tally.
