In people's mind. It is just talk of war. People are talked into it. And again i hear this heroic rhetoric about defending one's country. It is pure propaganda.

Military, a year of conscription life wasted to make you a potential tool of someone's politics. Forcing civilians with weapons to your will, while looting and raping.

- petre 2y agoI'll take the domestic corrupt bureaucrats over Russian installed puppets, because they'll do whatever the US Embassy tells them to. The Soviets applied the well known Crimea scenario and won past 1945 without firing a single bullet. Eastern Europe was transformed into into buffer states. This time maybe our countries might not fall under the Russian sphere of influence if we shoot'em dead like the Finns did during the Winter War. I will also gladly vote yes to have US nukes pitched against Russia on my country's soil if I am ever asked to do so. I do hope our politicians will decide to have them anyway as part of being a NATO member and as deterrence all while classifying it, to neuter Russian propaganda. They won't dare to attack if we're armed to the teeth and have nukes pointed against them, even if they're operated by the US. The Kremlin scare talk of "legitimate targets" is just BS to discourage us from doing so. Real deterrence is done with weapons, not talk.
- fifilura 2y agoWhat country are you referring to? Here in Scandinavia the true enemy has unveiled itself in the last couple of years. And don't try to fool me to think that living under Russian oppression is better than "liberal democracy" or what you would call it. Russia may have gained some ground in Ukraine, but it has lost all confidence from all its neighbors for generations to come.
