This is going to cause debate, I was sure about it. And if the
community agrees at least to state "NO WAR", that is already something.
To provide more context on Putin's propaganda: he has been consistently
putting more and more restrictions on nearly each and every independent
media. I can only name one nation-wide radio-station - "Echo of
Moscow", which has been deprived of their FM frequency as of today.
There is 1 printed nation-wide newspaper "Novaya Gazeta"
(editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov was awarded Nobel Prize this year).
Other noticeable media mostly have been claimed "foreign agents" which
heavily impacts their operation. To name one thing, they have to have a
preamble to every publication with a long disclaimer "this material was
published by a foreign agent (actually much longer a utterly
bureaucratic crap)". Also, other media are only available on internet.
The russian government controls internet through their puppet
RosKomNadzor which can block any website in Russia without even the
need for a court hearing or an court order. A big radio-station "Silver
Rain" have closed all their news and political shows as of today,
because it's no longer allowed to say a word of truth in Russia.
The world has seen these patterns before, and we all know what the
consequences of good people remaining silent were.

Please GTFO: we don't need more of Putin's propaganda over here, as
they're
busy enough with butchering civilians over there.
I heavily agree with this matter, the PHP project should remain
neutral. Seeing this thread already makes me dread the idea of even
considering such, even if it is done with the purest of intentions.
Big -1 from me (and to all future proposals of similar political
matter)
