    Getting whiplash between "haha Russian invaders and bots get fucked!!!! Finland!!!! Wooooo Finland!!!!!!" and "ah, we take no pleasure in doing this, our hands are tied"

    Maybe the professional communications and Mastodon bubble Linus has been posting in led him to believe everyone in the world hates Russians now and that would be really well received

      first comment:

      The question of why a particular country has decided to sanction Russia and not Ukraine, and why a country has decided to support one country versus another, whether it's Germany, France, and Poland sending tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine, or North Korea sending artillary shells to Russia, is not up to the Linux development commuity.

      next comment:

      Sanctions are imposed by Governments --- for example, the US, European, Japan, Switzerland, Norway, etc. Not Linux developers, nor Russian troll farms, nor Russia's useful idiots on the internet. It's not up to anyone on this mail thread.
