Greg puts in the article the way it is And if anyone thinks a Finn of all people would buy any BS or sad tears from their "annoying" neighbour (to put it mildly) you need to read up on some history Of course in the end it sucks for a lot of people that has nothing to do with it.

      Excellent point, Pro Useful Idiot: Most people in my country want this war Con Useful Idiot: This person (foreign assassin or whatever) wanted to kill {insert politician}, shows that we need this war and eradicate the enemy. There is a book, but I forgot the title, it's about White/Grey/Black Propaganda, it's quite old, but it's considered the basic book for propaganda in new media (at that time flyers/radio/newspapers).

  The Finnish people today, have the highest percentage of people willing to fight to defend their country in the EU, it is reported to be 74%. I think it is safe to assume that they are not worried about their Scandinavian neighbors invading.

If this is in-fact applicable to Linux kernel dev, then this may occur in other projects as well. > In that case that effectively makes Linux a NATO-adjacent project I would argue that being forced to include some specific maintainer would make that possibly more true than being forced to exclude.

  Probably the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War is more relevant. Another Ukraine type thing where they kill their neighbours to try to take their land.
