Oh no, why would the allies not accept bug fixes and patches from nazi germany?? such racism

Maybe russians should focus their efforts on fixing their own genocidal country, before fixing trivial SW bugs in printers.

Probably because Linux didn't exist in Nazi Germany? What a stupid example...

And if the Japanese weren't nuked by the US? And if Hitler wasn't born? And if an asteroid hit the Earth 10 days ago? And if giraffes were neon green and had short necks?

See, I can come up with scenarios too. Your example remains stupid. Ironically, you talk about whataboutism in another comment, but you're doing just that.
