nice head in the sand

That's a hilarious response from a Russia apologist. You think telling other people they're naive about the CIA means you can ignore all the bad stuff about Russia but that's not how the world works and you are either paid to have say this or are doing it for free and I'm not sure which is worse.

I try not to put myself in the hands of any spy agency.

"Other team bad so my team good" is reasoning barely worthy of the human mind.

there is no need to slander me. im definitely not paid by anyone to give my opinions

imperialism is imperialism. it should be denounced

if you dont think there is a US imperialist element involved in Ukraine you need to inform yourself a bit more. you can start with reading about North Stream 2

before the war in Ukraine i used to think that, in comparison the US, at least Russia bombs countries without calling it freedom [1]. When Russia started its "special operation" against Ukraine i now think that at best Putin is trolling the US, and at worst he is trying to be the US

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

Hey, could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Also, it looks like you've been using HN primarily for political/national/ideological battle, and that's another (distinct) line at which we ban accounts—regardless of what you're battling for or against. Past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

look at all of these throw away accounts making bad arguments.

Yes, we look at everyone's record. Both records.

this discussion will not add any value to the tech community of HN. My main concern of parent comment is, it is adding politics to the discussion of recently open sourced tech piece, instead of focusing on its capabilities, trade-offs and shortcomings and using it as a chance to learn constraints of another systems (in this case Yandex)

it's always whataboutism when it doesn't fit the narrative, why haven't you asked same question to the parent comment when they tried to politicise technical product discussion?
