Sure but they are working for sanctioned companies. Which from comments in thread are part of the Russian war machine. They do have that choice.

It is but doesn’t mean it has to apply to every country equally. This isn’t a movie everything isn’t black and white. We had a nice run where everyone was working together or are last tolerating each other, it was peaceful. But the US Russia and China are drifting further apart and becoming less reliant on each other, which sadly means it’s not going to be as peaceful going forward. Also they are not going to tolerate each other as much China Russia already have their versions of Linux distorts just imagine there might be more differences in the future.
Well it’s by far the biggest economy in the world and the whole world uses the tech developed in the US. sanction them and they could cut off your access to technology.
Where does this idea the open source is not political and above boarders. Open source is very political in its nature.
Don’t know if it would help as there are international sanctions against Russia.
That is not the whole idea. The whole idea is you can see the source code. There are plenty of Open source projects that are only one person and they don’t except help from anyone.
Israel is not against the US at this point. Russia and the US are in a war with Ukraine being the middle man. Look at what the US did to Hauwei sanctioned it and forbid any us company from doing business with it. Basically none of the world could use the phones. All the tech the world is using is American so they get to say what any country can do.
Sure nice of Russia to look after only the breeding stock. Seems some things never change.
One has ego issues and shitty code issues.
They’re not checked against every rule. First pass it stops.
This is the real world and you can think it ducks and it does but when your the 20000 pound gorilla in the room and there is nobody anywhere near your size you can do whatever the he’ll you want. And the US is that Gorilla. The whole world uses their tech in someway and their economy is by far the largest in the world. US is even looking at TSMC and selling chips to China cause the equipment TSMC uses to make chips is made by American companies.
