It does not give one much to admire about some segments of humanity. Thus, we saw with the Covid mania and social freak-out, ordinary people attacking those without masks. Now we see the same fanaticism, perhaps multiplied many times about all things Russian. Whether Putin is right or not is beside the point, as the US has interfered in many countries, and toppled governments that did not suit them, without mass public hate campaigns. Things like banning Russian cats smacks of social madness. What have cute cats ever done besides being cuddly? And, I sure would like a bottle of Russian vodka today.
