To make it quick, I think that you should take care of your own first.

Which is pretty much the idea behind nationalism and patriotism.

But what constistutes one's own is fluid.

If it came down to protecting the Ukrainian family that I love ( what ever the hypothetical situation might be) or American strangers it would be the former.

It made be fluid - but you would protect Ukaraine first before protecting America that gave you all the benefits that have made you who you are? I would protect Canada if they were attacked. But if we ended up being at war with them - I would fight on the side of America. America is my country and home. Just like I will fight for New Jersey before I will fight for New York or Pennsylvania and I will fight for Pennsylvania before I will fight for New York. But since I have a house in Indiana - I woud probably fight for Indiana before I fight for another state other than New Jersey.
