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.

If you just toned down the tankie lingo, your comment would be mostly valid criticism. Try that next time. Imperialism, puppets and NATO really must be the boogeyman of tankies all over the world.

~~Folks, I did it. I got called a tankie online.~~

The bogeymen that terrorized Africa for 3 centuries, and socialist countries when they exist.

NATO terrorised Africa and socialist countries?

You sure you don't confuse the NATO with the USA? ;)

I don't confuse them. The U.S founded NATO (through the North Atlantic Treaty).
