    I already explained my point about it. A lot of companies rebased themselves when political issues occured. The Linux Foundation could easily do that. It’s just racism.

      “A lot of companies” completely left the sphere of influence of basically any country except Russia? Doubt.

      I know the company i work for has to take similar steps when the sanctions went into effect, for example. Same as almost everyone.

      …it’s not. It is stupid, it stalls mainlining of Baikal, but it is not a racism.

      Counter argument: The maintainers could “easily” relocate to a country that is not currently conducting an invasion to enlarge its territory.

      Sanctions against a country/nation that is attacking another sovereign nation are not “racist”. Russia could easily stop their war to start getting rid of the sanctions.

        It depends, though. There are western and other countries invading and much worse, but there are no sanctions. It could be racism, interests or both that only a certain country is targeted with sanctions.

          There should be sanctions on every country invading. Its not rocket science. It’s crazy to say that russia is being sanctioned for racist reasons. They are literally attacking an European nation. Makes sense that other European countries sanction them, no?

          So your argument is that Linux foundation should relocate to… where? Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.

          Why would they relocate? To keep a few Russian maintainers? Because not relocating is “racist”? Not sure what you mean, just trying to guess.

            Somewhere stable and neutral like Switzerland or some island. I’m not a lawyer so can’t say which country is the best for it.

            Because not relocating is “racist”?

            To some extent, yes.

              Switzerland is currently sanctioning Russia. Let me say that again to be clear: moving to Switzerland, the most neutral country in the world, will not prevent you from having to abide by sanctions against Russia.

              “Russian” is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn’t easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I’ve spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland… Twice…

              Finland isn’t even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia’s neighbours hate, or at the very least don’t feel comfortable with, Russia.

              Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

                “Russian” is not a race.

                That’s true but nowadays the word “racism” is used as a full synonym to “discrimination”.

                Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

                A person who thinks that the terms “Russia” and “a Russian citizen” are the same is hopeless and must be eliminated at all costs.

                  No, let’s not degrade language like that.

                  And “eliminated at all costs”? Sounds exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting shut out and cut ties. Good riddance.

                  It’s ok to discriminate against a nation for waging war. Should be done to any nation. Including Israel, etc.

                    I get it and do it myself against the USA. But there are always people in these countries who disagree. That’s why blind discrimination is bad and cannot be good by definition.

      They are bound by USA sanction law, moving to another NATO country would be same sanctions against Russia
