Yes, we must be more resistant to hating nations that invade other nations in Europe, unprovoked. We must judge them entirely by their words and reassurances while studiously ignoring their actions and deeds. Only then will we have atoned. "it's as though nobody stops to think about why they feel strongly about something like this, or where these strong feelings came from.". Indeed.

look, if you think the US should deploy troops over there, just say so. let's do it. waffling about dumping billions and billions of taxpayer dollars into nebulously-defined foreign coffers while gradually propagandizing the populace into manufacturing consent for yet another military-industrial complex incursion on foreign soil is getting really tiresome. let's just get on with it, it's about time we completely took over the government of some country across the ocean for poorly-defined hard-to-articulate reasons so as to replace it wholesale with Democracy™ and call it a day like we have time and time again throughout my entire life. sure, it would be nice if the lives of my nation's soldiers were sacrificed for some actually meaningful reason that in any way impacts the citizens of my country, but whatever, that ship seems to have sailed before I was born—whatever the politicians and talking heads on the teevee say is cause for war, must be cause for war! let's go police the world!

  "waffling about dumping billions and billions of taxpayer dollars into nebulously-defined foreign coffers while gradually propagandizing the populace into manufacturing consent for yet another military-industrial complex incursion on foreign soil is getting really tiresome." Indeed it is, point out where I did that? One of us is waffling and seemingly willfully ignoring the fact that a country in Europe is engaged in a war of aggression. Thankfully your government sees things more clearly - I'm not American but you so clearly are.
