The majority have bought into the propaganda and are rooting for their team with no desire to understand what the actual situation is and has been. I am more embarrassed for them than angry. I am more fortunate than most because I have trusted close friends with a great deal of firsthand knowledge about the situation. It is hard to blame people who are reacting to non-stop misinformation.
Unfortunately, the money being squandered is just buying more and more death and destruction and dragging us closer to WWIII. It is not unlike Covid where the governments’ actions have merely made everything much worse and extended the problem for years on end.
My wife's grandfather gained his US citizenship by serving in the United States Army during the Spanish American War. There was no one more patriotic. Before WWI the Wilson administration got people so stirred up with anti-German sentiment that people in the small community in Oregon where they lived burned their house down and ran them out of town. The kids were not allowed to go to school after other children hit them with rocks and beat them up. The entire family nearly died from starvation and freezing to death during the winter.
The family had nothing to do with the war but just like the people here who now hate everyday Russian citizens because of the nonstop propaganda their neighbors were filled with rage. The real victims in this conflict are the Ukrainians, but the Russians are not the only ones responsible. Our leadership could not care less about the Ukrainian people. They are being sacrificed for everything but their freedom and well-being.
Excellent post. Thank you.
O’Biden and Zelensky have no problem continuing this war until every Ukrainian has their life sucked out of them.....with a Comedian and a Dementia Patient leading what did people expect!
