When cancel-culture comes to geopolitics.

It will be interesting to look back at how all these bad moralistic takes on geopolitics influenced the media narrative and pressured leaders and companies into hard-line stances against Russia, thus helping to cause whatever escalation is coming down the line. No longer can nations quietly engage in realpolitik to avert disaster. The populace is too engaged and information is too widespread, and the demand for retribution is universal. It would be naive to think the decision makers are immune to the moral narratives coming out of the media.
