It is appling the the same standard

  • Russia -> FSB -> operated by Russian -> contributing to Linux -> Bad
  • USA -> NSA -> operated by Americans -> authored SELinux -> Bad

Should this logic work? Hell no. It's simply prejudice that against any nationals that they have ill intent of doing something because their country do something bad. Just like a child can't choose their parents, a citizen can't choose their nation at born.

The wrench attack argument can be applied to any nationals too, by anyone.
