• I'm Russian in the US. I want to donate my 3080 GPU to someone from Ukraine in the US

  Before this war I had a setup on givedirectly.org to donate little bit to the poorest people on earth in west Afrika, before realizing this money when donated to dictatorships is indirectly ends up in the dirty pockets of some dictators or terrorists like wagner group and impact of this kind of donation is very limited and long term consequences of it might not even be beneficial at all.
