- flumpcakes 2y agoYes, a strong military protects you. See: all of human history. Do you think Ukrainians would perhaps have personally benefited if they still had their nuclear deterrence? Or if they had been given 10x military aid before February 2022? The fact is Anduril systems are deployed in Ukraine today, helping to protect Ukrainian lives. If you want to see what happens when you don't have a strong military, look to Bucha.
- 1oooqooq 2y agohaving a strong military defense and being an active imperialist invader is completely different. in fact, the later will bring violence to you which the strong military cannot or is not willing to protect you against.
- jgilias 2y agoI live in a NATO country, less than 200 kilometers from the Russian border. I personally benefit from any and all military edge that the West has.
- Sabinus 2y agoWhy would England declare war on Germany for invading Poland? Because security and deterrence involves a lot more than just 'is Russia invading us right now'.
