Intertwining Russian culture with Russian govt/military is ridiculous. It started with the Vodka and I knew exactly where it would lead. I was in shock and am in shock by the behavior. The people of Russia should not suffer. Shock is not the right word. Disgusted is better.
Happens every war. I remember during the Iraq War, when French Fries were renamed Freedom Fries, because France wasn't sufficiently onboard as an ally.
