Should open source sniff the geopolitical wind and ban itself in China and Russia?

Re: Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine

which they agreed to follow. Their invasion is illegal

funny "argument" : you claim that Russia's invasion is illegal because of Russian laws ?

On the other hand, I can give you fast 3 reasons why that invasion is actually legal, but it wouldn't be very useful because, as you say, there is nobody to enforce such "legality". What really matters at the end is : the winner writes history. The USA/UK did many war crimes during WW2 – bombing of Dresden, nuclear bombs on Japan, concentration camps for Japanese in the US ... – but because they ended victorious they could get away with it. So it boils down to this: if Russia wins then the invasion was legal, if they lose it was illegal.
