Or, alternately, and I'm just spitballing randomly here... Russians could gtfo of Ukraine and go home?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Only if this standard is applied universally. I agree.

You know what would be a great way to establish that standard?

GETTING YOUR FUCKING ASSES THE FUCK OUT OF UKRAINE!!!

And I'm only suggesting this because every day you don't, will absolutely be a horrifying misery for every Russian, further destroying the fabric of the country and guaranteeing the aftermath will be less recoverable.

How many of these Russian maintainers were in Ukraine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Don't care.

They can still write and submit, they just can't be maintainers, because every second there's a single uninvited Russian in Ukraine, Russia should go fuck itself.

Russian people aren't the Russian state

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

And that's unfortunate for them.

The Russian state is still hurting other people, they get some of the backlash. C'est la vie.

If there is 0 motivation to 'rectify the issue with leadership' then there is 0 accountability at all.

The US occupying 1/3 of Syria and Iraq for far longer is ok though.

In comparison? Yeah.

Russia, the dumb drunk fucks they are, even tried to rush our forces, because they were outnumbered 50:1 but apparently Russians can't do math and don't understand you don't fuck with Americans unless you're 5000:1, or at least don't try to charge joint forces with a bunch of morons running across the desert.

We also didn't commit a proper genocide on them Ala the Holodomor.

I guess it just sucks to be trash.
