Every damn relative, friend and associate of Putin and his supporters now in western countries

7. I've known some of these students

Knowing some of these students personally, these are bright and hopeful young people who come to the US in hopes of bettering the world. They’re not jumping to fall into Putins sword, they’re as scared and angry as anyone else about what’s happening (probably more so)

I say they be offered citizenship if they’d like to defect at this point. Just being born in Russia doesn’t mean they’re plotting for destruction any more than students at American universities who were born in Afghanistan were after 9/11. It’s a stroke of genetic luck and the happenstance of ancestral wandering as to where you’re born.
