Americans in Wyoming tell Fox News war in Ukraine is ‘scary’ and ‘sad.’
JACKSON, Wyo. – Americans in Wyoming told Fox News the “scary” and “sad” war in Ukraine brings back memories of the Cold War.

Randy, of Kansas City, Missouri, told Fox News: “It’s sad, and there’s no reason for it. We just don’t see any reason why it’s happening.”
“I understand Russia’s take on it,” Randy continued. “But for the world, it just doesn’t make any sense for all these innocent people to be hurt.”
