Yeah, we know, everybody knows!

But, no country is willing to send troops there to defeat Russia.

(yes, I know we supply AWAC support, satellite data, and "advisors" that are special forces and do a lot more than advise, but hell, we do that everywhere at all times anyways, you can't count that!)

I don't understand why so many countries are reluctant. Fear of escalation is dumb, as a bully will only keep escalating every time their power is proven effective.

Not wanting to deal with the public backlash over military deaths? WHAT THE FUCK IS A MILITARY FOR??? If we all thought like this back in the 1940s, we'd all be speaking German and eating nothing but cabbage and sausages.

No one WANTS to send people to possible death. But that's why the military hires you, educates you and pays you the way they do. You don't get s military salary just for playing soldier on training grounds. The express agreement is "we will give you all this, but you might have to fight one day".

What the hell happened to us?

We DID think like this back in the 1940's.. That's how they got so far.

Fair.....faacism waited just long enough for everyone who remembers to die, and it's going for a speedrun this time.
