If that is truly the case: either people in Russia are unable to construct logical chains and understand why certain things are happening (and in that case one should seriously question their ability to contribute meaningful code). OR, they do understand the reasons but choose to support their leader's actions (in which case them having privileges in the project is a major security risk). Which one is it?

People in Russia weren't born three years ago and can remember things.

When the US illegally invaded and devastated Iraq in 2003 under the fake pretense of WMD weapons, no sanctions against the US from the other Western countries followed. And of course the US didn't sanction itself and the American people reelected the president who started that war instead of surrendering him to the International Criminal Court.

So, if one constructs a logical chain from that, invading a country doesn't lead to any punishment, neither internationally nor domestically.

And people in Russia's neighboring countries also remember maany things.

What you’re saying is that majority of Russians never visited basic school? Because you learn «минус на минус не дает плюс» somewhere around start of mathematics.

No, but judging by your failure to understand basic logic, you might.

Keep pushing your line, can’t wait for new packet of sanctions.
