"Supply the country" is misrepresentation. He's not a baker. Microprocessors manufacrured by Baikal Electronics were used by military (however defective they were). I don't think it's persecution what Linus did, it is a necessity

By leap to persecution I was referring to your comment about him. But I guess Linus' words count too. Anyway, I feel sorry for you that you think that way. When abusing people based on their country becomes a necessity, we are not far from war.

  We are not far from war because Russia invaded Europe. This developer works for a company supplying materiel to the Russian military.

    Look beyond the common explanations. Russia is not an unreasonable or irrational actor. There’s context you’re missing, I think. When you lay the blame all on one side you justify war. Anyway, the bigger picture is that no human society is free of war, blood and death. This is not a group-unique problem. It is a whole of humanity problem. Keeping that in mind, i.e. the geopolitical version of the hacker news rule remember the human, might actually pave the path to peace. To resolve a genuine conflict you probably need each party to take 100% responsibility.

      I'm happy to bite the bullet. I have taken sides and I want my side to win. People who give material support to the enemy should face consequences. I come to this conclusion because war is an inevitable "humanity problem", there will never be universal peace, and I'd rather Ukraine was free and Europe-aligned than unfree and Russia-aligned. Why? Because I'm European and that's better for me, my country, and the people I care about.

  You’re weirdly intent on painting antiwar actions as prowar. No argument; you just state it over and over. Peace is war, war is peace? Nah. You’re just propagandizing.

    If you can’t see the connection, I guess that makes you at risk of being pro-war, yeah? Hehehe :)
