    I mean fuck Russia, but if these people aint regime whores for Putin I don’t get the angle here…

    If there is no security issue, this seems excessive.

      The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

        thank you… now this makes sense.

        so presumably this applied to Russians nationals living within Russia.

        If that’s accurate, the measure is proper IMHO

      Liberals love collective punishment and have been in a Russophobic bender for decades, with an uptick in recent years. They hate all Russians and repeat racist rhetoric from Ukrainian Nazis.

        I mean, I hate most Russians, but only since they invaded Ukraine.

        Russia whines endlessly about ancient wrongs against them, the Finns have a lot to remember about Russia too.

          Presumably you also hate most Americans and Israelis, then.

          Personally, I only hate those who take an active role in a major injustice and am merely frustrated with those who are passive, and I do so consistently across nationalities.

        Hmm yes, we all remember when noted liberal Mitt Romney said Russia was the biggest geopolitical threat facing the US.
