There should be sanctions on every country invading. Its not rocket science. It’s crazy to say that russia is being sanctioned for racist reasons. They are literally attacking an European nation. Makes sense that other European countries sanction them, no?

Neither Russian nor Western are a race.

Then other countries should make sanctions on the US where it masters to them to do so.

So your argument is that Linux foundation should relocate to… where? Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.

Why would they relocate? To keep a few Russian maintainers? Because not relocating is “racist”? Not sure what you mean, just trying to guess.

Usually uprooting your life and moving to another country implies a job change. At least that’s how I read the comment.

Sanctions have effect precisely because they are a broad tool.

Rationally speaking, the whole purpose of sanctions is to sanction the whole population of the country in order to get the government of the country to change it’s policies. And when it comes to sanctions, companies and entities doing business with the sanctioned countries are themselves sanctioned. So Linus had no choice but to remove the Russian contributors.

We’re talking about a real situation, not about what would be better.

So your advice is basically “come on, guys, you can resist russian aggression in ways that don’t involve conflict, stop the sanctions and side with Russia pls”?

No. As the instigator of this conflict, Russia can back the fuck down.
