Stop pretending you have agency with regards to how your nation interacts with other nations.

You, a citizen, are saying you're not going to 'take back' citizens from another country. Based on how the oligarchy of that country behaves... as if your own oligarchy isn't going to follow their own self interest and resume normal relations.

This whole thing is happening over our heads but somehow you've subsumed your identity to that of your nation state. To the point you start speaking for it. It's not yours. It's your rulers.' Nationalism is a brain disease.

    Shows how much you know.

    People aren't expressing their personal opinions and how they would like their government to act. People are expressing the opinions of their governments. In this instance personal opinions and governmental stewardship are in agreement. Trusting the United States is a non-starter. Also of course governments have to be dictated by public sentiment, or else how do they get elected?
