Is there typically consequences for workers in America from the countries in question if a war breaks out? I know a few Russians here on visas.

Legally or socially?

Kinda depends on how their fellow expats behave.

Do I need to update my Iodine pills or what

Obviously speaking from behind the blinders of my own experience, and leaving aside things like the human cost, but going to war right now would be an unbelievably fucking funny thing for the Biden admin to do. I cannot think of something that the American public gives less of a shit about than what Russia does in the Ukraine.

We don't seem to be making serious preparations for direct US involvement, but stupider things have happened.

Going to war with Russia (US and NATO tropps on the ground) is too dangerous. But there needs to be serious financial consequences for Russia if they do a full invasion of Ukraine, including Kiev. Far further than what happened with Donbass and Crimea. It will be the end of the non cold war decades in the NATO/US - Russia relationship since the end of the Soviet Union.

Trump's rhetoric has never been very different from the rhetoric that Republicans have used to speak to their base since the Gingrich years, and it's certainly not much different from the Tea Party. It's just escalated, more openly stated, and much more willing to openly reject the legitimacy of any opposition.

It goes back further than that. Trumpism is Bircherism.
