"We" were not lied to, perhaps you should say "I". Personally, I don't accept being "lied to" - I won't accept what is told to me as truth unless I verify it. If I accept something as truth, I take personal responsibility for it.

I think you know that is not what I wrote, so what is your point of twisting what I wrote?

I was paraphrasing.
However, when someone makes a direct threat or a direct provocative action against our country, our allies, I tend to forever change my view of that person or that country. That's just me, I am not forgiving under those circumstances. The easiest way to keep people like me under control is to not provoke us, and if you do understand that people like me need help in preventing the situation from getting out of control. I am honestly saying what needs to be done. There are a lot of people like me in this country.
