Historical fact: US population also didn't want to enter WW2 because they saw the war as Europe's problem, just like how I see this war mostly as Ukraine's problem. The US only entered WW2 after Pearl Harbor.


Your analogy means you would only like to enter war after Russia bombs somewhere else in Europe? When it becomes inevitable to go to war and we have to pay orders of magnitude more in economical terms, and an immeasurable price in lives?

That sounds rather... Stupid?


>Your analogy means

It doesn't. That's what your made up analogy means in your head. Don't put words in my mouth to twist the narrative in your corner.

I was only pointing out that today, just like 70+ years ago in WW2, individuals want to stay out of other countrys' wars out of self preservation.


Sorry, I didn't expect that an obvious historical fact (which I believe is common knowledge) was being used just as trivia.

It's the second time I interact with you today, it's the second time you become extremely defensive and reactionary. Do you behave like that in real life? Rather exhausting.

On that note, I would invite you to read my reply to you earlier today [0], might help to put down the armor a little, and perhaps think about engaging with more curiosity and less aggressiveness out of the bat, not everyone is out to get you.
