But that's assuming you actually want to know and aren't just posting this to create drama.

Your premise is that these countries have a binary choice between either using mines in a "responsible" way or be conquered by Russia which uses mines in a bad way.
This is a fallacy because there are in fact many other plausible outcomes:
- Using mines is not necessary to repel a Russian attack. Russia is currently very weakened by its war in Ukraine and NATO has significantly more material and spending (even without the US). It's totally possible to work towards peace without resorting to these barbaric weapons.
- It's theoretically possible that a country uses mines and still gets conquered. Mines aren't as useful as they were 100 years ago.
- It is unlikely that this country would only use mines in a "responsible" way as you describe. Armies do extreme things when faced with an invasion and any such reservations will quickly be cast aside if it provides a strategic advantage.

Chemical warfare? Cluster munitions? Bombing of population centers?
The point of international law on warfare is that they apply to everyone regardless of circumstances. What you're suggesting is war crimes in self-defense.
That's clearly a false dichotomy.
As I understand these NSF-funded research projects are only part of the entire curriculum. So it would be a misrepresentation to say that the US is "getting rid of" these students. They will still study and get a degree, they'll just have a harder time finding an appropriate research project. That's still bad, but not the same as what is claimed by the tweet.
It's simply a correlation with population density. More rural areas tend to vote more conservative.
The tweet gave me the impression that these people lose their jobs. But it turns out that's not entirely true, because it also counts undergrad and preK students who participate in a program one way or another. That's still bad, but not as bad as the tweet suggests. Surely there is a better way to represent the budget request?
