Why be ready to fight and possibly kill or die for a country that is less and less worth it everyday?
Because it's going to get a LOT worse once a greedy dictator decides to annex another country.
When a state is annexed, the people who will lose out the most will be the people who own property which is enforced through the laws of that state. Dying to protect greedy bastard's property from other greedy bastard is not in my interest. The greedy bastards can send themselves and their own family to protect their property.
Well, also the people that are suddenly drafted to fight will lose a lot. For a lot of people it’s a question to choose between:
- Do I fight for my country (that I don’t necessary align with)
- Do I wait until the enemy gets here and drafts me to fight for him
And while the first option is not great, the second one sounds a lot worse.
Don't need to tell me but one thing is visible and tangible everyday and the other thing is something way more abstract for most.
Bucha isn't abstract.
Can you not understand what I'm saying or do you not want to?
