Things like this can easily get political, for sure.
But siding with a democratic sovereign country invaded and brutalized by a more powerful, yet corrupt and autocratic, neighboring county, for no rational or justifiable reason, should not be political.
Siding with a democratic country whose citizens were murdered, raped and kidnapped in a terrorist attack should not be political.
Part of the problem with this country is that too many people form their opinions on tribal politics instead of trying to land on some nonpartisan conclusion based on simple right vs wrong.
