Go Google That, Google! By James Reed
Well, Vlad Putin is in the West, "most wanted," with a price on his head. But Russia can play the same game.Google has blocked channels run by Russian state-run media, and in reply a Russian court has fined Google for "removing channels on the YouTube platform" and ordered the company to restore these channels. The fine is $ 20 decillion, which can be written as:
20, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!
Which makes the total GDP of the world economy look infinitesimal. In fact, the number is so large that it dwarfs the number of grains of sand in the Sahara desert. Thus, Google cannot pay the fine, and will not, and Vlad Putin will not leave Russia and be put in a cage in the West. A classic Mexican standoff.
