Cool, this post and discussion is about Russia though.

Hence money spend on propoganda is no measure to justify such reasoning. One could say, people supporting Linus' statement are US funded trolls.

Yes, you could say that. Did you you miss the part where one country is invading another country in an actual armed conflict? Then a bunch of other people choose one side or the other. They call each other names and they posture and they try to influence support. They use whatever pressure they can.

Linus and his lawyers have clearly chosen one side. You seem to have chosen the other but want to appear as if you haven't for whatever reason.

There are bunch of countries invading others as of now including Russia, US and it's allies. Who do you choose?

If this was about war, he had 2 years to take action. If this was about law he should let everyone know.

This seems more like he is being compelled by government to do something while masking it as his own. Hence the lack of reasoning for his decisions or calling anyone who questions him as Russian actors.

So… they both do it?

Whataboutism?!? Is a thread critical of Russia? How is it possible?
