The last few months has been like watching the years after the cold war in reverse. Everything that people were happy about- the first coca cola in the USSR, the first McDonald's, trade delegations of all sorts, American cities becoming sister cities with Russian ones, I even specifically remember having some Russian kids visit my elementary school a few years before the wall fell just as a sort of cultural exchange, all in an effort to ratchet down tensions, because people didn't want to risk a nuclear war over politics. And now everyone's applauding and outright demanding the exact opposite of it all. It's just so stupid.
