I think if China threatened to nuke us, people would be a lot more xenophobic towards Chinese people. It's understandable.

Don’t you think we can rise above xenophobia?

No. We recently elected a president whose main campaign promise was to build a border wall. So, no.

Well, you specifically could perhaps rise above it.

Unless they're outspoken in their opposition towards Putin, I will always view Russians with suspicion. That's just how it is now.

So how does that work? If you meet a Russian-American, they have to introduce themselves as follows: “Hi, I’m Aleksey and I hate Putin”? And if they don’t, you’re suspicious?

If I don't know them, then yes. And I'm getting suspicious of you, too. Why do you care?

You’re a very suspicious person. I care because I don’t like seeing xenophobia develop.

If you're a Trump voter, then you're full of it.

You’re just desperate for a gotcha, aren’t you? I’m a lifelong Democrat. It really is possible to just genuinely not want xenophobia.

That's noble. I'm more concerned about an entire city being starved to death by Russia.

I’ve got a novel concept for you: it is actually possible to be concerned about BOTH things!

I know. Crazy.

This is personal. Every single Russian needs to punished for this, not just Putin and the oligarchs.

So many Russians ran from Russia to escape the oppression and dirty politics there. It’s not their fault for God’s sake.

Maybe being cut off from you is not the punishment you think it is.

Americans have never risen above xenophobia! Why should they do better now?!

DP. And why is that? Sounds like you always did and always will view Russians with suspicion. I hope you can shed a light for us as to why caused you to view Russians with suspicion prior to Russia invading Ukraine?

It’s mostly Ukrainians who are xenophobic towards Russians. An average WASP won’t be able to tell one from the other

Seriously. All these sanctimonious virtue signalers on here couldn’t really tell the difference between Russia and Ukraine.

NP - you’re the same old tired poster that loves to troll the political threads with the same old B.S. Get a damn hobby, dude. This is a poor reflection on who you are.

I’ve been watching Russian YouTube channels and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel bad for them & the sanctions they have to deal with.
