Supporting Trump was not a popular thing with many of my friends and family members. I did it nevertheless. If Trump really said that Ukraine started the war, I feel deeply ashamed for my naivety. I strongly assume that most decent people feel the same way.
Volodymyr Zelensky is NOT a dictator. Vladimir Putin IS a dictator. Zelensky didn’t start the war in Ukraine. Putin did. Hope this clarifies things for anyone who is confused.
