To me, cancel culture is a behavior where individuals, countries or corporations decide to cut ties or refuse to do business with other individuals, countries, or corporations, usually informed by some popular opinion. It's a form of collective action.
The popular opinion doesn't even need to be correct, it just needs strong emotional appeal that motivates people to cancel.

That said, Russia's government is totally worth 'cancelling' right now. Maybe the USA should have gotten some more push back for their failed wars, but Russia sure deserves it for this war; it's even more egregious than Iraq/Afghanistan.
