A classic “peaceful Russian programmer who does not support the war but”. How it started (he’s talking about the ‘Oreshnik’ threat against Poland):

These aren’t official channels. Why are you stirring up trouble? Aren’t you laughing? I could create a similar channel to threaten Russia from Poland. What would change?

How it developed (he’s saw the videos of Russian officials threatening everyone in the world):

People laugh at it in Russia, but you’re unironically trying to prove something to me here. Every country has propaganda. Welcome. But you’re going to indulge in hysteria. Putin started a war I don’t support, but he had his reasons. What do you think about what happened in Venezuela?

How it ended (he saw the video with Putin’s open threats against Poland):

Ahah. Fuck, Putin tells you in plain Russian that if the Poles get involved, they’ll get their arses kicked. You’re trying to feed me some bullshit. Don’t get involved with us, don’t stir things up, and preserve your sovereignty. Don’t get involved with Ukraine. Just sit there and whore yourselves out. No one will touch you. You don’t like something? Go whine!

Wise Ukrainian folks who ban such scum without any interaction, but I was indeed misled by his initial apparently polite comment 🤷
