    As an American, I think my government has become WAY too inconsistent and unreliable. We might elect Trump again, ffs. America can’t be counted on to meet its NATO obligations anymore. Too many fascists are in positions of power and sympathize with Putin.

      It benefits everyone to have distributed defense. Work together, but be able to have a basic level of your own defense is vital.

      As an American, it’s 2023 we should never need weapons. Diplomacy should be the only option.

        Unfortunately, many of our international contemporaries disagree. And as long as we do, we need something in case diplomacy fails.

        Ukraine trusted diplomacy when they gave their nukes to Russia.

        I’m sure russia would care a lot about your strongly worded letter if they decided to take Alaska back.

            Yeah, that’s why they have 4 waves ready. The first freezes, the second freezes, the third doesn’t show up but the fourth will take Alaska.

              They have 4 waves of men to throw at a front?

              Where are they? Because they aren’t in Ukraine…

        Diplomacy backed by what? “Diplomacy” with no leverage is ink on worthless paper, there needs to be some kind of reason anyone should listen to you.

          I’d say more that it’s too shallow in everyone else’s. That’s why we’ve been leaning on them for all the scary tanks-and-bombs stuff.
