As an American who could have done more to help stop this, I think all adult Americans, including me, share some collective guilt.

There is so much more everyone could have done the last few years to head this off.

There are always excuses, I have a long list myself.

Fuck that. If he starts a nuclear war, he should be first in line to vaporize.

First Putin, then Kimmy. But they can use tiny ones, not city murdering ones.
