I think this is a great and fair question. It’s all fun and games until our own life is impacted. I have a family and am thinking about this carefully as I live a good middle class life in Austria and we are similarly impacted wrt gas. At the moment my position is that I would be prepared to sacrifice a heck of a lot in order to not give in to a murderous regime. I would be prepared to drastically drop my standard of living for several years. My thinking is that in comparison to direct involvement in a hot war that would be peanuts. Now, ask me again next year once I’ve gone through a cold cold winter and whatever other luxuries I’m missing out on. I hope I can live up to my ideals. I have met refugees from Ukraine and they need us to step up so they can one day go home in peace.
