should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for ever being for it. There was no rhyme or reason to this conflict. Russia lied to their own troops telling them is was just a training exercise, then they lied to the whole country saying the Ukraine provoked it. Hard to believe there are people other than Americans that believe war is the answer to everything. It was sickening in this country when the Iraq war was started over a lie. Then another, then another. And a large portion of Americans still believed we were doing the right thing.
