If Russia stooped to the West and Ukraine’s level, then it would cede the moral high ground in the New Cold War just to spite them.

The West’s “canceling” of everything connected to Russia since the start of its special operation almost two years ago is textbook bigoty that promotes hatred against people on the basis of their identity. This policy falsely implies that there’s credence to Hitler’s debunked conspiracy theory that someone’s ethno-national and/or religious identity at birth automatically predetermines their political views later in life. Russia is resolutely opposed to that fascist paradigm, however, which is why it won’t respond in kind.
