The matter was, "why is that relevant".
The original comment doesn't show up so I'm not able to reread it but the relevancy of my bringing up Mearsheimer was purely in response to the mentioning of Russia invading a sovereign country, namely Ukraine, not to the Russian developers being removed by the Linux maintainers.
His reasoning is quite suspect, you know.

There is a difference between "explaining actions" and "justifying actions".

You may want to reevaluate your relationship with Mearsheimer. His reasoning is quite suspect, you know.

What makes his reasoning suspect? Genuinely curious. I accept that his reasoning that the Israel lobby is the main motive for US Foreign Policy in the Middle East is flawed or overstated. Anything else?
(2) Dualism -- he's obsessed with the idea that the US has one real enemy, China, and that therefore Russia should be its friend, no matter what it does.
But mostly because he makes a lot of distorted (and in my view digingenuous) statements (or omits things he should be saying) about basic events.
Basically, he's just really slippery.
