From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

Yes, there should be sanctions against any country doing that and worse. But there aren't. Why not? I see a lot of downvotes and no explanations. As per Europe, aren't we talking mostly about US, since Linux is trying to follow their sanctions? Also even Europe is divided about who the enemy is, like pesky Hungary.

One country cozying up to Putin is hardly a reason to call the entire EU divided

Don't want to diverge the thread in nitpicking, but it's not just one country and some countries play both sides.

Neither Russian nor Western are a race.

You're right. Racism here should be replaced with hate against a nation.

Then other countries should make sanctions on the US where it masters to them to do so.
