Probably around the time the largest war in Europe since WW2 began. Your neighbors being actively invaded and the country saying "you're next" on state TV[1] tends to make people think "maybe that country isn't our friend". Saying "I dunno guys. They're killing people and saying they'll kill us next, but maybe we should wait to find out" is not a very smart strategy.

- rayiner 2y agoBy that logic you could justify American involvement in the first gulf war by saying it was “the largest war in the middle east since WW2” or Vietnam as “the largest war in Asia since WW2.” The logic of opposing american interventionism never rested on the fact that there wasn’t a conflict happening.
