they were all white, and siding with Russia against Ukraine, saying Russia is not our enemy.

What's up with them? It's like none of them have ever had a history class of the 20th Century? None of them seem to know of Stalin, Khruschev, Brezhnev, the fucking iron curtain, the arms race and the ICBM threat.

So many uninformed people out there with little knowledge, siding with their "tribe," our main enemy and wanting an authoritarian government.
