It has less to do with people than with jurisdiction. The US administration can demand to do this or that on US soil and the maintainer, owner, programmer has little chance to do otherwise if he/she does not want to end in the prison. Hence, my opinion to choose distro with as least as possible influence by the US.

No. SUSE has ties in the US. There are many in the list which are not totally off the US, because either several servers or maintainers or their main distro (Arch, Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo, RedHat) is located in the US or has strong ties in the US. The few in the list which may stand out a bit are VoidLinux (community based and mainly in Europe), Crux (community, mainly Europe, but this distro is a tough one), and Alpine (small group mostly in Europe). With Kali I am not sure. If you won’t stay outside the US, have safety, but sacrifice new hardware, look also at OpenBSD.

AFAIK depends OpenSUSE on the company SUSE, which - though based in Germany - has partners and hence ties in the US.

I assume the biggest problem is that the people are taught for centuries to follow their leaders instead of thinking for themselves and acting accordingly. It is the mentality of the general Russian society I would say. A larger Russian population could for sure bring down the government and end the war by an instant, yet this remains sadly as it is, utopia.

Obelix, in case you have been involved in the occupation of the university that time, it is likely that you have been filmed by the police. If this is true, your chances are pretty low. Even when you behaved non-violent. There is a saying in German: mitgehangen, mitgefangen - it is like you would be a wolf in a pack and although you would stay outside the fence and not participate in the killing of sheep, you are done anyway.

Therefore my suggestion: if you are a foreigner and the police gives a final call to leave the place, follow the order of the police. Otherwise another saying applies: Dummheit schützt vor Strafe nicht (ignorance is no excuse).

BTW, the situation will get way darker when the AfD will be in power, and what the CDU has done until now, I have to admit that it does not look good for many people.

The fact that capitalism cannot be blindly blamed for everything is shown by the example of Switzerland, which I would say is THE example of capitalism. Have you ever heard of a war in Switzerland in the last 150 years or that Switzerland is in crisis?

I also do not understand why helmet91 is being downvoted, as the user neither attacked someone directly nor said something generally offensive. However, downvoting helmet91 just shows how heated people are, losing common sense, and suggests that he or she is probably right.

And then they build in a switch-off trigger so that when their allies, the Russians, and they will attack us - according to the so called Trump-Putin agreement - they can switch off all the weapons.

Don’t tell that you need so much time to write an email 😳
