That’s mostly the internet though. If I talk to my friends and almost all my colleagues, they overwhelmingly and strongly hold these two views.
For instance, at the lunch table at work (about 8 ppl there, somewhere in Europe, during a discussion about Trump) I uttered the phrase “I think we need to start viewing the US as an enemy state under the current administration”, fully expecting to set off a fierce discussion. Instead everyone was like, “yup, sounds about right” and carried on with their lunch.
Point is: talk to people outside the internet and they may surprise you.
I do realise that I’m inside a different kind of social bubble and that not everyone is like that, and I’m sorry to hear that yours doesn’t align with your views. But they are out there!

I’m glad it’s better over there, because in my [limited] friend group and family, nobody is pro-ukraine.
