So, nationalism?

Text on the meme

Okay so besides it being economically painful why can’t the rest of the world get together and airlift everyone in Ukraine out to wherever they want to go with full citizenship, give Russia the land, and then stop doing business with them? Uh because they are Ukrainian and want to be in Ukraine? So, nationalism?

What it means

A Twitter exchange shows one user suggesting that everyone in Ukraine be airlifted elsewhere, with Russia receiving the land, while another replies that Ukrainians simply want to remain in Ukraine. The punchline is the absurdly reductive response, “So, nationalism?”, mocking attempts to treat a national identity and desire to defend one’s homeland as an unreasonable political problem.
