In the replies and the quote tweets, there are hundreds of people saying "Sure it's good to accept refugees but if Russia's neighbors take them in, then Russia will eventually invade."

On top of this are all the replies you'd expect, like "Russians are all responsible for the war" ( I guess Russia is no longer an Evil Authoritarian Dictatorship where citizens have no say.)

    lol I see this all the time about how "if Putin takes Ukraine, he'll go after Poland next!" These people have no conception of wars as being carried out for concrete geopolitical aims and just see America's enemies as Marvel villains bent on world domination

      Also they've been saying that Russia's military fell apart on entering Ukraine, leaving vehicle crews comically floating in the air, so idk how they think they'd get to Poland

        Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.
