The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is to cut cooperation with 500 scientists affiliated with Russian institutions from November 30. Around 100 have joined non-Russian institutes in order to continue their physics research work with Europe’s particle-physics laboratory.

"Just decided", like they made the decision on a whim? It's naive at best to pretend like this isn't because of Russia's 2+ years of war crimes and sabre rattling at anyone that looks at them funny or happens to share a border.

You misread my comment. I said "just" as in "simply" not "recently." Words can have multiple meanings and uses. My point was that this is not an abrupt decision and has been in the works for quite a while because of the war, but it was not based on a decision "specifically tied to a recent development" in said war because it had been announced months ago in June when Belarus got kicked out. They just/simply have been waiting for the contracts of both groups of scientists to expire before sending them home for quite some time.

There's yet another meaning of "just" - unrelated to anything else. The comment read like it was dismissing any relation to the war at all. If that's not what you meant, than fair enough.
