real easy to say for someone not in a warzone
Tell us all about it then, colonel
Warzone are not, Ukraine got invaded by the rest of the world pussyfooting around, which to dictators only smells like weakness
Given the requests for more military aid comes from people in ukraine.
Seems. Your the one arguing against them from a position of safty.
the rapidly increasing number of deserting conscripts would disagree with you.
Ill add. My now passed grandfather raised me.
He was a pacifist durimg the second world war. He and many were forced to mine resorces. As they refused to fight. As he was an engineer he was eventually reasigned to other work. Aircraft instrament manufacture at smiths.
But at no point did he think the UK should just allow germany to take over.
He just knew he was not able to fight himself. This was a commonf feeling among those conscripted during the second world war. And will always be a risk whe. A mation needs to defend itself from agressors.
Not all of a nations people are best suited to fight.
Ask the Ukrainians what they think. It'll be amusing to see how they flounce you.
Giving in to tyranny is voluntary slavery.
