In war time a lot of companies supply the country. The war is obviously no fault of his. But the leap to persecution is actually a more war-like attitude that is where we lose some of our humanity and decency, so it’s better to skip it.
I don't think it's persecution what Linus did, it is a necessity
Anyway, I feel sorry for you that you think that way. When abusing people based on their country becomes a necessity, we are not far from war.
When you lay the blame all on one side you justify war.
Anyway, the bigger picture is that no human society is free of war, blood and death. This is not a group-unique problem. It is a whole of humanity problem.
Keeping that in mind, i.e. the geopolitical version of the hacker news rule remember the human, might actually pave the path to peace.
To resolve a genuine conflict you probably need each party to take 100% responsibility.
One guy loses his "volunteer" position, which in fact he was being paid to do by either the Russian government or the Russian military (via Baikal Electronics).
The other side has missiles and drones falling on their cities.
Russia invaded, and again, and again, and again.
What should be done to make sure Linux is not involved in this bombing of civilians? At the very least, we should figure out which military contractors are involved, and which countries they are from.
Isreal maybe is not my cup of tea, but at least they have some justification for waging their war because they were attacked first. So Israel with all its faults is not in the same league with Russia.
