The citizens of other countries have their own lives to deal with, which are being made more complicated by the simple fact that screaming against it this entire time just was not enough.

They have no obligation to stand in solidarity with citizens of the country making their lives harder. This is not collective punishment, this is the predictable outcome of a series of events.

It's like getting hit by an uninsured drunk driver: It may not be our fault, but it will be our responsibility to fix.
