It isn’t collective amnesia. It’s not unrealistic for a country like the us to be doing the same thing they accuse another country of doing within the us. Of course we would want to prevent the other country from continuing while trying to do it ourselves.

I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do, the right thing is to have none of this happening. But at the same time, this isn’t a fantasy land and there are bad actors all over (I’m not excluding the us, so save your angry responses) so I want my country to be proactive in this one way or another.

Not pro Ukraine, anti Russian. Don’t mix those two. Before the war, people still hated Russia for the horrible things they were doing. The Ukrainian invasion just brought those horrible things to the public’s attention.

Show me where this was said by a large swathe of people? I think the complaint were his racist usage of China Virus and Wuhan Virus, not barring people from a country flying in. This reads like somebody trying to play the victim card from something 3 years ago. Nice try.
