    Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.

        You know there are massive differences between the war that Russia started and the war that Hamas started.

          Yes, the difference being that one is a war and the other is just plain old genocide.

            Yup. I recall how the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs published new guidelines for digging mass graves in late 2021. One of many pieces of evidence pointing towards genocidal intent. Bucha at the latest should have made Putin’s goals in Ukraine more than clear to anyone.

            There is a difference between a war and a conflict. Hamas did not start this conflict, but they started this war.

      And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.

        It’s supposed to put the LF in line with sanctions rather than at risk. They have no control over the invasion (aside from pushing a malicious patch that shuts down all Linux systems or something)

          So then you agree that there is no reason to be “glad” about this?

            Is this supposed to be a leading question? I’m not making the decisions, but there’s no reason to be happy about losing contributors in any case.

              Some people think if you’re not foaming at the mouth over this then you’re in total support. The threads have been bizarre

        When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.

          Putin couldn’t care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?

          Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.

      Bruh I live in the USA. The state has been murdering people and disrupting stability since its inception. I’ve never been fired from any job because of it.
