Just image, that there is local disturbance in Mexico and in the middle of the crowd, russian foreign minister Lavrov provides free pancakes and kvass to everybody. Which USA newspaper won't come with headline "Russian sponsored unrest"? :)

I feel no ill will towards the Russian people - I simply pity them for what they are subjected to under Putin. This and many other sanctions are going to hurt quite badly, and the pain will not relent until the regime changes or Putin loses. It is his administration that fears global influence, if you're Russian then you are experiencing the most rapid demodernization the world has yet seen. If you somehow feel this is for the better or not the fault of Russia's political posture, then I pity you even more.

You can't reap the rewards of global cooperation in one hand while threatening it with the other. Once bitten, twice shy.

Strelkov captured Slavyansk in 2014 with 50 men. The one hundred thousand city. Either he is a war genius (unlikely), or vast majority of population completely support him at that time.

Back to LinuxFoundation: the problem is not that they ban somebody. They should make a clear public statement about that, like chess.com did for example.

P.S. And it will be much better for OSS community if LF was based in some neutral country, without "world control" ambitions.

Russia suffered 10,000 confirmed casualties in the last week of combat in Ukraine. With the latest batch of North Korean troops it's expected to hit another 10,000 in the next week of combat. It will continue after that, and once the imported troops are exhausted who will be brought in next? More conscripts? Prisoners armed with a Kalashnikov?

Either Russia is facing resistance or they're tactically choosing to slaughter their own infantry. I'll leave it up to you to figure out, since you sound like such the strategic mastermind.

No, it would be better for exploitative actors that don't respect the foundation of copyleft licensing in the first place. The OSS community relies on Open Source licenses to protect them - if your jurisdiction doesn't enforce those licenses, you're encouraging a legal free-for-all.

The casualties numbers are fake. North-korean soldiers, are probably also fake (this is pushed as a preparation for moving other military forces to battlefield).

And since what time OSS is regulated by USA laws?

wow, I didn't know there were still "Russia is losing the war and on the brink of collapse" people still kicking around. Never underestimate the power of narrative!
