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.

"propaganda"? Oh. You mean like Russia started a full blown unprovoked war with a peaceful nation? That "propaganda"?

Sucks others got caught in the crosshairs, but that's just what happens when your authoritarian government launches unprovoked wars and gets sanctioned.

No matter how many times Western states and corporate media insist that it wasn’t provoked won’t change the fact that it was[1][2].

Question: do you believe in the self-determination of Ukrainians?

Absolutely, but that was intolerable to the US, which is why they coup'ed its government in 2014 and installed a puppet one.

Yes and the 33 million people whose lives have been uprooted by the invasion, are undoubtedly very happy Russia is 'fixing' this with violence.
