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.

Wait, what?? Zelenskyy took office after being democratically elected in 2019. Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014. Your timeline does not check out there.
Its almost as if it is coming right out of the Russian media
@possiblylinux127 @theunknownmuncher I know it might hurt your brain but it is helpful to fully understand an issue to understand the other sides perspectives.
How dare you suggest critical thinking?!
Your perfective only make sense if we assume that Putin is retarded(what he propably is) because Ukraine couldn't join NATO(Crimea) and now Finland is at NATO because that war, and Putin said that he don't care that Finland is in NATO, I can only came to the conclusion that he didn't care about NATO in Russia border, he just wanted to genocide ukranians, or die as the one who brought back Russia empire
@theunknownmuncher Your timeline doesn't go back far enough and I notice you completely ignored the bit about Eastern expansion of NATO and what the United States promised Russia.
Your justification of genocide is both ludicrous and gross.
@theunknownmuncher I don't justify genocide, I acknowledge ALL conflicts involve at least two sides, and to punish only one of those sides is to take part in said genocide rather than oppose it.
Okay then, so describe the 2 sides and the punishments they deserved during the Nazi Germany invasion of Poland/Europe and the holocaust. I hate to bring Nazis into it as an argument, but you did say "ALL" and it easily shows how ridiculous that take is.
Nazi germany came into being a thing because post great war was massively hard on germans in large part to the treaty of versailles completely crippling germany's economy.
ofc there were other factors like the massive propaganda machine, Germany was effectively reduced to a slave state dealt a massive blow to the pride of the german populace which was fairly easy to turn young men militant alone, even disregarding the disastrous effects to the German economy.
@drwankingstein @theunknownmuncher That being the case why did Rockefeller fund BOTH sides of the conflict? It's true it had bad effects on the economy but it wasn't the only thing that had bad effects on the economy, you need to go back about 800 years to get to the roots of that.
Big yikes!!!!
It's funny that the mere suggestion someone learn history gets downvotes. Oh I don't want to do that. It takes so much effort. Much easier just to hate because MSNBC tells me to.
