And why most Linux users would rather not play these games than allow that garbage on our PCs.

Well, you know, I actually went there, a few months before the war, and had the chance to talk to people, so maybe check your own propaganda bias.
Proves nothing. Russia itself at one point pretended to want to join NATO, it's all politicking. And it's still pointless, a sovereign country is free to do what it wants, if it isn't, then it's not free and it has all the reason to fight for its freedom.
The US is practically never the good guy, but Russia is even worse, in this instance they're absolutely indefensible.
A jammer is less sophisticated than a crowbar. It's not like the burglar designs it themselves. Nor are they hacking your network to gain access, they just shut everything down.
Search for porn? Meaning he didn't already know where to find it?
You're actually confirming their point about culture though. The fact that you couldn't stop them doesn't mean that it also happened to everybody else: some management may have listened. Linux users abhor adding weird shit to their OS, Windows users do it all the time.
Ukraine wasn't entering NATO, it was seeking close ties to the EU.
And anyway it's a sovereign country, it can do whatever the hell it wants, they're not slaves to Russia.
Change your government then, I'm already overseas, relative to you (unless you're posting from Moscow).
Nobody forced Russia to invade. You're saying NATO expansion forced their hand, why? Just because they'd lose their vassal and they didn't want to. Life in Ukraine SUCKED, that's why Euromaidan happened; was it pushed by US agencies as well? Maybe, but still it wouldn't have happened if not for the massive corruption there, much of which was upheld by Russia, see their support for Yanukovych.
There will be no consequences for those who made this choice because going with the biggest suppliers is never wrong: they in theory have the highest reliability, and even if they don't, then it's not just your problem but everyone else's too, can't blame those responsible when the outage is akin to an "act of God"
They have a Linux version, but this happened only to the Windows one... Coincidence?!
Who could have foreseen this
Yeah all right, conversation over.
