This sent shivers down my spine...

... sad, it is every time so sad to see, that the old saying stays true:

In times of war people, that don't know each other, kill each other on order from people, that do know each other, but don't kill each other.

Not being an American, I hardly can understand so much, that is your culture. I can only view from afar and hold my breath in wonder.

But most important, I can only shake my head in wonder, how people like the Ex-POTUS can sleep at night and are not kept awake by their conscience.
