saddened is probably more likely since most ukranians were led to believe that they coulld join nato and things would be better.
it’s only those of use either inside the imperial core of nato or completely outside of nato who can see its decline just the same; those at the periphery are unware that they’re the cannon fodder that the american empire uses to conqueror others like russia or china.
yes it is their war because it’s the one that they started and now ukraine is paying the price, like a lackey who take the fall for their criminal ceo.
