I supported the banning of Russians on the Linux kernel. I also pointed out that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified.
Somehow I don't think they liked my opinion. I've had my fill of Lemmy.ml and I'm trying to move off of it completely. It appears I'm not totally banned from Lemmy.ml but that probably will change in a heartbeat.
By all means, support it. It will be good for the Russian government, as well as motivate awareness of geopolitical concerns among programmers. ๐ค Just like the sanctions, you NATOids are too arrogant to notice you're helping the Kremlin and pushing them to the east.

This already happened with the oil sanctions???? Bloomberg and WSJ and other papers ADMITTED the sanctions backfired!
Your statement is not intelligible. Has anyone ever been far even as decided to even want to look more like?
I'm sorry but I still don't understand after mentally swapping it.
They hurt all of Russia's trading partners and forced oligarchs to keep their money in Russia. It is helping them far more in terms of boosting the costs they get for their natural resources which is one of the major things the US sought to prevent. The overall pivot to Asia by all of Washington's rivals is very apparent.
Sanctions only partially work when you're able to enforce them and starve out a population that is small enough to be isolated, but ultimately it forces them to form new relationships with one another that were made impossible by imperialism. Russia had ten years to prepare for sanctions and they have turned lemons into lemonade. What the sanctions have really damaged is European industrial capacity to compete with America. They are even talking about trying to shunt to them the burden of funding the NATO military adventurism.
Mindlessly cheering on besieging a foreign nation after we couped their neighbor to install nazis and started a civil war, it is just stupid and sadistic. It isn't helping anyone in the west other than military contractors and financiers. You have lost grip of reality. Racism is basically a mental version of having brain lesions, like being a sociopath.
