its not that we don't consider it, is that all western countries excluded us from western civilisation and bunched into nato anti-russian block, so we are not going to knock on the door of people who declared us our enemies, we are not going to beg to be accepted by people who constantly plan our demise and congratulate the number of dead russians. so yeah, i no longer consider myself connected to the west, we are our own unique civilisation.
