Siearra poses an interesting topic in her blog post "Patrio-country?". She explores the definition of patriotism given extenuating circumstances of one individual identifying with a foreign nation more than their birth nation. If the individual relocated to their new desired country and formed affection towards that nation would they still be considered patriotic. I found this very interesting, deconstructing the broader concepts and the intersection of personal instances that can cause debate.
I began to think: What if their dedication and support to another country occurred when they were citizens of their birth nation? Would this still constitute patriotism towards Russia or would it be considered a betrayal against the United States? What if a person was adopted and their affection for their birth nation was stronger than their adopted location? How would the premise adjust to this situation.
