It's not hard to imagine that gleefully doing x atrocity to your enemy will get back to you, with your enemy doing x+1 atrocity to you. I suspect they actually count on this to bait USSR into acts of ever greater violence, so they can cry with westoid public opinions.
It's a shit plan for the xoxols and it will surely backfire spectacularly, but they probably weren't the ones who came up with this anyway.
