It seems my decision to disallow people from Russia (Not Russian ex pats) to play on the server has annoyed some people, I read a lot online that simply isn't true, I'd like to clear that up as it may shed some light on my reasoning....

1.. A foreign armed force on foreign soil uninvited is an invasion no matter how you want to look at it, the same as UK, Blair and Iraq - See "Chilcot Inquiry"

2.. It is not rich politicians pulling triggers and serving in armed forces, it is the average Joe, like myself when I was younger and my father before me, your brothers, sisters, fathers, uncles, just common people.

3.. As history should teach us (Nuremberg trial in October 1946) - The judges at Nuremberg rejected the “following orders” defense.

Two wipes ago there were Ukranians playing on the server, halfway though the wipe after a bombing I haven't seen them again (I hope they are OK) - Whilst the average Russian citizen does nothing they are in support of what is currently happening.

To quote a famous line 'The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing'

Whilst this conflict is going on, I'm sorry for anyone who is offended or annoyed, but simply put Russian citizens are not welcome to play on the server.
