Linus Torvalds comments:

... If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.

Oh, really? Embassies continue to operate, trade continues. As it was for 80 years.


Yes. I said enemy, not in open war. Borders are closed. Russians are engaging in sabotage and misinformation operations. They are also ideological enemies of any individual who wants to live free.

The perfect counterarguments from Russian friends:

1. Authoritarian regimens need security guarantees or their attacks against smaller countries are the fault of the West

2. Western liberal democracies are not perfect, this means that they are just as bad as Russians.
