    There are 195 countries in the world and the US has sanctions banning product imports of some kind from six of them:

    • Iran
    • Russia
    • Cuba
    • North Korea
    • Syria
    • Ukraine

    Kaspersky is Russian software, and Russia is at war with one of our allies. To pretend this is xenophobic “banning anything not American”, instead of a strike against a specific enemy, is more than a little disingenuous.

        Because we don’t ban things based on country very often, we ban things based on whether they are a threat.

        Interesting how you framed this as xenophobia so confidently, and now want to shift the goalposts.
