This rhetoric seems very familiar and other folks in the replies are pointing out how these people would’ve supported the Japanese internment camps.

Replace “Russian” with “Black” and “Ukrainian” with “white,” and this whole thing starts to look pretty… interesting.
All I can think about is how quickly this would be nipped in the bud if they were talking about white Americans.
