It's very hard to follow your logic and what you think is the reason Hetzner is cancelling some customers
Either way, your original comment is whataboutism as judged by HN members. Maybe it is not elsewhere, but it seems here it is
If you believe that a country that invades another country should be the target of international sanctions, you believe that the US, along with many other countries, should be the target of international sanctions.
Do the people arguing that Russia should be the target of international sanctions act as if they believe the US should be the target of international sanctions? For the most part, they do not. It makes me question whether the real reason they want sanctions on Russia is because Russia invaded another country. Maybe the real rule is that when countries that you oppose invade another country, they should be the target of sanctions. That seems the be the rule that is actually practiced.
