    He went beyond that. “As a Finn, do you really expect me to up in arms to support the Russians…”

    Bravo, slow-clap.

      I mean, do you? This is a violation by Russia of another sovereign state. Thus, everyone in Russia is affected by the consequences of that action.

      The Russian kernel coders, no matter their innocence, are subjects of a nation that can compel them to misbehave.

      Now, if they were leaving Russia and defecting, that’s another matter, where they are pulling their individual sovereignty away from the Russian state.

        I have no problems with the action, and I have no problems with his attitude.

        The effort to isolate Russia is an acceptable result of the Russian violent invasion. Russian citizens are not to blame for their nation’s behaviour, but they do share responsibility.

        Removing contributes from the maintainers list is not an extreme action, but it is important as a statement.

        As for not feeling the need to defend the Russian citizens, it is nearly righteous for people from nation’s that have been bullied by their neighbours.
