      Back then, we were thinking about the future, not the past. The Iraq war was coming to an end and all other conflicts seemed to have stalled. None of them involved us anyway and our politicians often offered their help in peace negotiations. It felt, like we were generally respected and had no enemies. Maybe we really had none, but then the fire nation attacked and of course we backed Ukraine and now we have an enemy again.
