We just got back home 2 Americans volunteer troops and they were prisoners of war and they were tortured so badly that it was so sick. His body is covered in so many scars. They tortured him. I can't believe what Russia is doing to a small country. They deserve everything we are doing for them. And they deserve to be able to defend themselves against this. Because it's bad.
