You repeatedly posted flamewar comments to this thread. You've been doing that repeatedly in other contexts too. Moreover, we've had to warn you more than once before.

We ban accounts that continue like this. I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop doing it, we'd appreciate it.

Edit: Please stop posting nationalistic flamebait in particular. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
