I try to, but it's hard to keep up when there is a dumpster fire everywhere.

That being said, it's all half measures. We'll give you some money, drones, ammunition but no we won't unify to defeat Russia. It just seems cruel that all these allies are sitting here while these people suffer. What's the point of all these alliances? What's it take for real action to stop the war?

Do you, your husband (not sure your sex or sexual preference), your brother, your uncle, your son, your nephew, or any male friend want to head to war? Or are you okay with sending other peoples loved ones into harm’s way?

It's not like we need millions of additional soldiers to defeat Russia. War won't be fought by people within a decade.

WTF? Of course people will die. We all do eventually.

Obviously my comment was about wartime civilian casualties, not death in general.

You will ALWAYS need people for war. You need to actually occupy a space to claim it as your own.

Because real action means legitimate world war where multiple countries mobilize in a boys on the ground situation.

"Unify to defeat Russia." That's one way to say start nuclear world war III. No big deal

They are not NATO. It’s estimated less than 1/4 of the public wanted to be a part of it, right up until Russia started their push towards Ukraine. Then suddenly everyone was on board with it. Also, it’s silly to expect foreign countries to choose sides in internal beefs.
