This goes WAY back to long-run trunked telegraph cables. They would use different twist rates and handedness as well.

Upstream's irrelevant to a maintainer. Downstream? Maintainers typically know best, that's why the user chose that distro. I bailed on Debian when they decided to go systemd. That's Democracy.

China owns the west. We won't do anything to stop them or their allies, not anything serious.

What's this we stuff anyway?
To be fair, when asked he had to say that. Many people think it's obviously about Jews, seeing as how the 'aliens' are in control mainly of banks and the media.
Had he answered any other way, his career would have been over and he might have been killed.

Foreign NGOs are all working for foreign intelligence agencies, this is a hard and fast rule. From Doctors Without Borders collecting DNA in the hunt for Tim Osman, to even the Red Cross getting busted occasionally. If I was Luakshenko I'd kidnap NGO leaders, just disappear them. It's what they'd do to me, if I were him.

He's running a telecom provider. Nobody has even declared actual war on anybody. During the Cold War we had phone lines to Russia, China, you name it. Of course all communications were heavily monitored, like today. If a war was declared by Congress things would be different of course. But they haven't done that in ages. I think WWII was the last time? Pesky legal issues crop up of course. It's better not to declade war apparently.
