Putin wants to take over Europe. You're okay with that?

Allero ,

And how do you imagine that?

Tales of Putin willing to take over Europe are straight up fearmongering. Most countries in Europe are part of NATO and subject to mutual defense clause. Ukraine is not, which us why it was possible to attack it in the first place (and which is why it desperately wants in).

Attacking any of the NATO countries is straight up suicidal.

Please do not let hysteria sift into your brain, for this is the very thing corrupt politicians use to do terrible things.

I see the two of you don't understand how a military works then. You don't join a military, and then bitch and complain if you are sent to fight, it's literally what you signed up for. If in this specific situation you are not French, you should also probably just keep your mouth shut

I see you don't understand that many European citizens are conscripts.

and you don't understand the difference between a career soldier and a conscript. Let me enlighten you:

As a conscript you will be drafted only in a defense situation, an actual war in your own country. Simply spoken when the Russians are at your doorstep.

A career soldier can send to missions either an official NATO one or one approved by your country's commanding officer of your army.

I'm sure all those drafted/conscripts who went to Vietnam totally felt like they were defending their country from imminent attack!

Look at yourself, you are talking like an human without soul. People are not robots or machines they join the military because perhaps they believe in justice and want to defend their own people from villains. There's no justice in fighting a war for business, there's no justice in fighting wars for corrupted politicians at the expenses of innocent people.

We are all humans and everyone should be allowed and encouraged to talk not to keep his mouth shout.

Politicians and rulers never do, they are playing chess with people
