How Citizen/Patriot mindset changes during war.

Lately, my friend from Tajikistan who used to be a movie director and actor in Hollywood having legitimate citizenship, now claims that Vladimir Putin is the legitimate leader of the world because he uses rationale and a civic mindset in how he handles his presidency. Nothing can be further from the truth. When people are in the vortex of a theological war, they strongly pick one side or the other. My Tajikistan friend used to date people outside of his religion.  So I'm not going to pigeonhole him there. He's always had an issue with Israel, but with other people of faith who lived in other countries, he did not.  Now that Israel has escalated their killing to young children and distraught mothers, people not born in the western world, feel they have to take a strong side and defend their Eastern side of the world. I will talk about a rational mindset that goes beyond a religious faith and loyalty to a certain country.  There is a possibility of creating a mindset to solve international disputes without forcing doctrine and beliefs on other people. In international foreign policy, It's crucial to look at the outside in and solve issues.
