Look at russia, USA opposition resembles russian opposition more and more every day.
You ruin your own infrastructure -> more of your people will die and they would just shrug. Why do you think they would be investing in your country, that's just silly.
Yeah, every dev does that to a degree of one ticket, which shouldn't take more that 2 days on average. So no, hiding code for half a year isn't ok. I don't know why you try to normalize it.
So just push everything to open source then, not only releases but branches? Nobody forces you to have fast release schedule, but you either open source or you are not. Releasing sources 2 times a year is not an open source.
If spheres of influence were only far-right concept, it would be manageable. But no, leftists also like to yap about multipolar world. Obama didn't do anything in 2014 when Crimea was occupied by russia because he believed in russian sphere of influence. He also defends his line of thought still https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-slams-us-barack-obama-for-excuses-over-russia-policy-war/
Russian population is very happy with the war. Millions support it. Hundreds of thousands died for the cause of colonising Ukraine and eradication of Ukrainian culture.
Deprogramming made by who? Is there a demand in the world to win the war with russia? Can't denazify without that. But I see demand for resuming trade and "peace" at the expense of Ukraine, whose people end up in occupation.
russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, occupied Crimea and stated war in Donetsk, Luhansk, tried to do the same in Kharkiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhya (and maybe few other places I've forgot).
Some Ukrainians just do "emergency backpack". Cause if something happens, you need to be able to dash out and have a set of tools you know how to use with you.
Soviet was racist asf
