There was many people who could have help prevent the war just by speaking up and they just kept there mouth shut and let it happen. What I was most surprised about Director of Strategic Policy Paul Hughes
What angered me most • They were killing people that didn’t need to die. Why is it that America thinks they can have nuclear weapons but the second another country has them America goes into war.
