- No, it's not good, it's blatantly russophobic.
  I would get it if he would have simply stated that the Linux Foundation needs to abide by the sanctions, pretty much what GKH had said. But for Linus to go ahead with his stupid russophobic rant about Russian bot farms (LOL) is really too much.

  I mean, that's basically what he said:
  If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day.
  Doesn't sound like they banned Russians in general, just people employed by sanctioned companies.

  They aren't committing war crimes at all. You may be referring to something Ukraine made up. For example their own air defense hit civilian apartments and they blamed it on Russia. There are also many many many videos and photos on telegram of Ukranian soldiers hiding in kindergartens and hospitals. They also park military vehicles near apartment blocks to the dismay of the people inside. There's photo and video evidence of this.
  Really it's the reverse -- Ukraine is committing war crimes. Shelling civilians is a war crime. Murdering people you think that are sympathetic to the Russian gov is a war crime.
  Ukraine's?? They (the gov, which we installed and control) deserve it.
  No evidence for this at all. In fact, if you go back to the original Russiagate claim it was debunked by the CEO of Crowdstrike.
