Off-Topic: Is HN primarily serving the US/Western audience? There might be some areas in the world where Russia is apparently "not" a hostile state?
I must apologize again for going a little off-topic
- jcrawfordor 8y agoHN is English-language, so it's a strong assumption that the majority of users are English speakers. Russia is to some extent hostile to all the major English-speaking nations (in large part because all of those nations are strongly allied).
- handsomechad 8y agoIsn't India English speaking? And HN has a huge Indian demographic I would imagine. And historically, I believe they have been allied with the Soviet Union whilst the USA has historically allied with their arch-rival Pakistan.
- pjc50 8y agoRussia is a hostile state to the average Russian, too. It's an unaccountable kleptocracy.
- lern_too_spel 8y ago> There might be some areas in the world where Russia is apparently "not" a hostile state? Very few. The Kremlin and the presidential palace in Damascus come to mind, but Russia is actively antagonizing the rest of the developed world, including the areas just outside the walls of those two.
