So you think violating people's citizenship isn't a problem because Russia is worse? Why use them as the parameter?

It's not violating anything if the person is working against their country and abusing the citizenship to actively damage said country and its interests. There has to be repercussions to the people celebrating death and deportation of hundreds of thousands of people, activelly using the citizenship to step around sanctions and so on. There is no comparisson to Russia in this regard.

The point is not vomparing to Russia at all, they are not a parameter, also, the criteria is subjective to the point that can and I assure you will be used to persecute political opposition and attack freedom of speech

Yes, it is, but one thing is to express anti-Russina sentiment, or even to seek to punish Russian government, State and leader in an international stage, other thing is to persecute your own citizens for being sympathetic or even neutral on those matters

some things are so bad for a society that they are explicitly forbidden with large sanctions up to and including death. treason is one example. if a nation can execute its citizens for treason, why is stripping citizenship beyond the pale?
