Also the love Putin gets comes from despair. Russians need someway to think their nation still matters and Putin by being a bully who interferes in the west provides that. They have nothing else.

This is true. My parents are Russian-Americans and the only news they follow is RT. They're racist and homophobic and can't stop talking about how America is terrible, everything was better in Russia, and that Putin is a goddamn hero who fixed everything and definitely isn't a corrupt piece of poo poo. I'm still not sure why they haven't thought about moving back but we've been here for 25 years now so I guess they've just resigned to dying here, praising Russia with their last breath

Again, the hope would be that such a cultural embargo would anger the Russian populace enough to replace Putin, rather than continue to worship his macho posturing and annexation of neighbors. It'd be a petty action in response to petty actions.

Okay. And 'servers hosted in the US" means what? What significant things do you think would be cut off by that?

And also you think that American culture isn't that important and saying so is ra-ra Americanism while also somehow thinking this would lead to people overthrowing their elected leader if it got cut off?

I assume they also want a "strong guy" to keep the country together. Post-Communism it was collapsing into lots of little states that hate each other. "Balkanization" is not good for peace. At least Putin keeps the area together, and keeps it relatively peaceful. A more moral leader might not be able to. Putin directs his people's frustration at external targets (like all good dictators) and that way keeps them from each others throats.

Doesn't mean that the USA should model themselves on him. The USA is in a pretty good spot. There's no (real) danger of Texans seceding and annexing Mexico. There's no need for a bully boy, despite the bullshit Trump is selling, telling the rubes they do need one (him.)

There is no real risk of Russia splitting, except maybe Chechnya and a few tiny spots like that. The Czars and the commies were too good at ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure for that to be a risk.

The correct way to get Russia to stop doing that stuff is to install a pro-America leader. Not cut off the internet. Take a big pair of scissors to the one internet cable that goes into Russia. You don't see a lot of North Koreans posting on Reddit, but their country hasn't turned into a good place because of that

For more context, this was drawn by Milo Manara. An artist known mostly for his erotic art. So basically Marvel hired a guy who does erotic comics and asked him to draw a cover and this was what they got. Rather than go "gee, maybe that's not the best choice," they just ran with it. Marvel are idiots.

Manara wasn't trying to stick it to anybody, that's just what he does for a living. That's his job. He's an erotic comic artist. He never wades into politics at all, that was all Cho. Manara seems to have no idea of the controversy surrounding the Spider-Woman cover, by all accounts.
