Namely, my response to this Twitter hot take: Tbh if you support Russia and you live in America you are not a patriot. In the slightest. Rather, you’re a dumbass that has forgotten how much of a realistic threat the USSR once posed when Americans had to do duck and cover drills every single day at school.
Is it reasonable to judge Russia's current threat to America by the Soviet Union's threat to America in the past, specifically using decades-old "duck and cover" drills as a metric? Much less judging one's patriotism for America in regards to a conflict wherein our country (regardless of de facto material support) has not formally declared war on any of the belligerents?
The answer is: no. Of course not.
Sell your form of “patriotism” to our troops in Europe facing Russia as you cheer on the enemy, it has been done for generations of the pro-Russia crowd.
We and the other members of our NATO defensive alliance are formally opposing Russia’s invasion.
