I think this is the first time there's been a war that I support.
This time it's not about oil or religion but about defense of people who were attacked for no reason other than to satisfy the grandiose ego of a fool who wants glory for himself. The same essential motive that Hitler had in starting WWII.
I can really see how the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor would have motivated America to transform into a fighting machine in record time.
I've been pretty anti war my whole life but when it's in defense of an unjustly attacked people I feel a need to support it.

Most everyone I speak to of many nationalities feel we are all Ukrainians now.

I would even do it myself if I was guaranteed I'd be successful and I'd do it for free as well. So much for my pacifist nature. I know he will not give up...ever. This is his Swan Song.

(4,397 posts)which was determined to be a 'war-crime' in the Nuremburg trials,
and fighting a defensive war for your own survival....
Every people in every nation deserve the right to self-determination, and when outsiders attempt to take that right away, at the point of a gun, they deserve to be met with lethal military force-- and in such cases, 'war' in self-defense is "righteous".
In Ukraine, there is absolutely no argument about 'who is in the right'...
