@nyxallocer I suspect that the closer corollary would be whether the Ukrainian populace writ large would have expressed those concerns about the wellbeing of the Russian people - I suspect the answer would be pretty strongly tipped toward the "don't care" position. Now there are countries (Greenland, Canada, Cuba, Columbia, etc) whose people are looking at the USA and wondering if our nation is going to attack theirs.It's much easier to take a broad view when your homeland isn't under threat of attack.
