No more than the Clash's "I'm so bored with the USA" was bigoted.

It's a perfectly natural and reasonable reaction to have to the culture of a country that has repeatedly engaged in (and currently threatens) extreme territorial aggression against one's own country. Which is infinitely more serious than the cultural imperialism that the Clash were railing against, in any case.

Again, the reaction is to the culture (not the people); and it is not one of disgust but rather -- indifference.

Should be "The Clash", of course.

What about the people, in Russia, right now, that are actively creating culture?

Parties in control of a government are not the people of that country, they are only a small subset of the people from that country.

Unfortunately, some parties in control of countries think it is ethically or morally right to send children to kill other people's children.

Nationalistic flamewar will get you banned here, regardless of which country you have a problem with, regardless of how legitimate your reasons are.

The same goes for any other commenter and any other country.
