This is great. I am happy to hear that russians get ostracized as they should be.

Quick reminder - sanctions are there because their army is currently is involved in brutal invasion, mass state sanctioned rapes, murders, bombings of civilians with hundreds of missiles and drones launched on cities, kidnapping children and putting them for adoption to russian families. Each penny paid to them will fuel their war machine. Every open project will be used in their war crimes.

Do not reply to russians. They are not victims in this. They are perpetrators of this brutal war.

A person is not responsible for the actions of their government. All governments wage war and cause suffering.

I have many close friends who are Russian by nationality. Russian by crime of accident of birth. So many of my friends in this situation abhor the actions of their government.

The Mentor stated it best. Phrack 7, 1986:

"We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals."
