Unruffled [he/him]

Seems like you are the one drinking the Kremlin Kool-Aid tbh. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is deeply unpopular, because it’s such blatant imperialism. They are trying to re-vassalise Ukraine, same as they did with Georgia. Simple as. Putin still has delusions of empire and cold-war era “spheres of influence”, and his pretexts for the invasion are paper thin to anyone not drinking Putin’s Kool-Aid. Support for the Ukrainians has nothing to do with Western propaganda - it’s got to do with the fact that Putin has made it very clear what his end game is, and nobody except Putin and his gross coalition of authoritarians, religious extremists and dictators want to give Russia the chance to strongarm/invade its way into becoming the USSR again. Having said all that, I’ve got nothing against Russian programmers working on open source software. Unlike yourself, I’m perfectly capable of distinguishing between the actions of a State and its citizens, many/most of whom are no doubt decent people.
