This sort of attack will get you banned here if you keep it up. Didn't we have to warn you about this just recently? Seriously not cool.

Edit: your track record is already beyond the line at which we'd normally ban an account. I'm not going to ban you this time because you've also posted good comments, but it's past time to correct this, so please do.

The double standard is palpable. Criticizing Scholz for lying is apparently a no-go but we can call Putin a monster https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
You can't seriously be questioning how snarkily attacking someone for the ethnicity of their name is against the HN guidelines? That, plus all your other comments attacking other users, are way outside what's acceptable here. If that's not obvious to you after reading https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, I'm not sure what else to say.
If we didn't ban such accounts, we might as well not moderate this place at all, so please fix this.
Nowhere else in the world will you see anyone pushing the lie that Ukraine isn’t being supplied with heavy weapons.
I really don’t know how you can spin this into an attack. sschueller is simply a victim of propaganda, that’s not an unreasonable thing to point out. I just added useful context to the outrageous lie he is spreading.
Let me remind you of the principle of charity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)
Reading my comment as a personal attack is miles away from the most charitable interpretation.

If you can't or won't do that, we're going to have to ban you, even if you're right that your comments are perfectly innocent and everyone else is just reading them wrong. That's because we have to go by how these things affect the threads. If you post things that look like trollish swipes, and feel like trollish swipes, they're guaranteed to have the effect of trollish swipes. There isn't much difference between arson and negligence if the goal is not to have the house burn down.

What tanks specifically are they sending and how are they training the Ukrainians to operate them?
The Ukrainians do not own any US tanks and do not have any infrastructure to operate or maintain such tanks. If the US were to send such equipment it requires a lot more than just the tank. This is also why the US and others do not want to do this as it involves sending US personnel to train/coordinate etc.
I’m not sure why you’re getting caught up on the US, that’s just weird and makes it seem like you might have some ulterior motives.
US is sending other kinds of heavy armaments to Ukraine.
You really should stop with the namecalling the personal attacks and in general being a jerk.
> We are not sending heavy armament to Ukraine for a reason and the government needs to make sure that their policies also apply to companies like SpaceX.
First, that's wrong (apart from Germany), second, how does this reason (that Western tanks require training and logistics Ukrainians don't have) square with 'mak[ing] sure that their policies also apply to companies like SpaceX'? It's a complete nonsequitur if that's the case.
