If Putin owned Trump why didn't Putin invade under Trump? Why did Trump sanction Russia? Why did he threaten to bomb Moscow? His attack on NATO was pointing out America was paying for Europe's defence against Russia while Europe was funding Putin's war chest which is still true (Nordstream 1 is still running) so he told Europe to pay for more of their own defence which they did. Meanwhile Biden dropped the sanctions, said don't invade Ukraine or he will reimpose them and promised NATO troops would not defend Ukraine. And what sanctions are imposed are hurting average Americans more than Putin. Trump was right on this. Moscow should be smouldering ashes by now.

The issue with elites is when they engage with this crap it's their citizens that have to suffer the consequences. Putin can absorb the costs, as can the upper middle class in the west. But it's not only the Russian poor that are being most affected (as is typical of tyrannical regimes), it's the American and European working class too. This is why Trump was much better on the Russia/Ukraine situation. He outright placed sanctions on Russia (which Biden reversed) and threatened to bomb Moscow if Putin invaded Ukraine. Biden reversed those sanctions and promised not to do send troops if Ukraine got invaded, basically inviting Putin to invade. Trump got something that current leaders are too weak to see. Putin and Xi are bullies and bullies only respond to strength. Look at how Obama reacted about Crimea, Biden now on Russia, letting Putin get away with it and punishing ordinary citizens even in their own countries.

It's a shame other attempts to break into the market failed. Competition always produces better products.
My personal favourite being Ubuntu touch, but also Sailfish I quite enjoyed. Despite not being my cup of tea, Windows Phone 7 & 8 were pretty solid too
I was shocked Samsung didn't go further with Tizen but then I read (likely on /. ) that it's security was even worse than iOS or Android. Still, more competition would be nice.

When liberal free market democracies are being reduced to eat their pets, give me a call. Name one socialist country doing a better job than us on any of those.
And before you start to say any of the Scandinavian countries, nobody except the American far left even classes them as socialists, they hate the word because they know what the rest of the world knows: Socialism is Venezuela, nor Norway. Social democratic countries are still capitalist with exceptionally low corporate tax rates and high income taxes on the middle class.

Scientific Linux isnt a fork, the code is still the same and designed to be binary compatible, it's like CentOS.
Software isn't really a forked until it starts going in it's own direction like how LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, MariaDB is a fork of mysql and OpenIndiana is fork of OpenSolaris
