    Sanctions against a country/nation that is attacking another sovereign nation are not “racist”. Russia could easily stop their war to start getting rid of the sanctions.

      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.

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

        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.

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

        So your argument is that Linux foundation should relocate to… where? Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.

        Why would they relocate? To keep a few Russian maintainers? Because not relocating is “racist”? Not sure what you mean, just trying to guess.

          Somewhere stable and neutral like Switzerland or some island. I’m not a lawyer so can’t say which country is the best for it.

          Because not relocating is “racist”?

          To some extent, yes.

            Switzerland is currently sanctioning Russia. Let me say that again to be clear: moving to Switzerland, the most neutral country in the world, will not prevent you from having to abide by sanctions against Russia.
