It's a nice impulse to try to explain the background to this story, but the gratuitous flamebait you tossed in is bad, and bad outweighs good in these things.

Please eliminate nationalistic/political flamebait from your HN posts. It leads to nationalistic/political flamewars, which are hellish and exactly what we don't want here.

Noted but I'm not sure what you're calling "gratuitous flamebait."

That's extremely over the top on an intensely divisive topic (hence flamebait) and entirely unnecessary (hence gratutitous).
