I am left profoundly sad by this. We, on a global level, can’t just keep wasting our resources on war. This is cave man behavior or Mesopotamia 2000 BCE. We need to help our own people and the people in Turkey and Syria who have been displaced by the earthquakes. Sorry, on this one, this life long Democrat is disappointed. War is not just an exciting soccer game, it is a horrible wasteful tragedy in the 21st C. I am so scared that this will spiral quickly into a major international war that we can no longer stop. 19C. Thinking is not doing us all any good!
