    “Cruelty is the point” isn’t russophobic. It’s at the core of every conservative and far right ideology. That very much includes genocidal fascist states like Russia or Israel

      If you’re being cruel to russians because you fear some invasion, even though there are no hints that anything of the sort is happening, in a way that wouldn’t even hinder such a made-up invasion then its pointless. And pointless cruelty targetting russians is russophobic.

        Nobody’s being cruel to Russians. There are no hints that anything of the sort is happening.
