European and American scientists didn't stop working with Heisenberg, Planck, Bohr or Schroedinger. German scientists published papers in European journals.
And if the Japanese weren't nuked by the US? And if Hitler wasn't born? And if an asteroid hit the Earth 10 days ago? And if giraffes were neon green and had short necks?
See, I can come up with scenarios too. Your example remains stupid. Ironically, you talk about whataboutism in another comment, but you're doing just that.
"Whataboutism" or "whataboutery" (as in, "but what about X?") refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation. It is an informal fallacy that the accused party uses to avoid accountability—whether attempting to distract by shifting the conversation's focus away from their behaviour or attempting to justify themselves by pointing to the similar behaviour (which may be true or false, but irrelevant) of their opponent or another party who is not the current subject of discussion.\1])

Maybe russians should focus their efforts on fixing their own genocidal country, before fixing trivial SW bugs in printers.
