Just one more thing: as of yesterday, in response to western sanctions
and supplies of letal arms to Ukraine from EU countries, Putin has
ordered Russian nuclear forces to switch to a special alert regime,
which means they will be ready to strike at any moment. Anything that
can help stop this insanity, is welcome, IMO.

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)
