It's also the security of the only enclave of gay rights and feminism in one of the most barbarously anti-progressive regions in the world. Whether or not that adds incentive is subjective, but framing it like paying for just "a nation's security" sounds like propping up Luxembourg's independence from France and Germany.

I think you are kicking in open doors here. But unlike a few kilometers away it won't get you kicked from a rooftop, it will only get you angry looks.
