Oh really? Well considering that upon launching
his Russian invasion, Adolph Hitler told his generals
to basically ignore normal "fair" war conventions
they'd been following up to that point because "Slavs
were just pigs anyway," I don't think the Russians
treated the Germans unfairly at all.

In both military tactical training and grade school, this is known
as the "neener principle". (It used to be called "tit for tat",
but kids these days kept replacing "tat" with "twat".)
