Sure.
Honestly, getting this type of message from you is very annoying. I will try to be polite although you really hit the bar - first of all, did I lie on any of my comment about it? No, not at all and you can fact check it easily. I don't care what propaganda you are trying here with such labeling but I would avoid it if you are able to do so. If you lack knowledge of geopolitical and historical landscape of some region, better not to comment it. And it is relevant as now you will likely get again the political pressure on another DebConf and people should be surprised about it.And while I am at that, I will mention one more upcoming bid - Kosovo. It is part of Serbia, still officially by UN resolution[0],This whole section of your message is tendentious Serbian imperialism and very misleading, starting here. But it is also irrelevant to the Montreal minidebconf so I don't feel the need to rebut it in detail in this thread.
