Russian people have been victims of Putin for years now. That entire area has gone through tough times and there never was recovery . It's suffering upon suffering.

Think how it would have been for the US to start a similar useless war which has nothing to do with defense but all about one person's ego after everything we went through with Trump in office and Covid and economic uncertainty. And we are a wealthy nation. But now think of what Russians are going through without the wealth and other privileges we have .
