      And all Germany and Russia had/have to do is get out of the countries that were invaded. This also won’t bankrupt the country. The sanctions on the other hand…

        And if that were the only concern, then it wouldn’t matter. It’s when a population realizes that they have nothing left to lose, that they might as well follow the fascist dictator into wars to reclaim glory, in the hopes that tomorrow will be better. The next fascist might well attack NATO, then we’re all in it.

          You’re talking like that is a possible future event. How is that different than how Russia is acting now?

          Russia has already expended half of its military capability and is only holding about 25% of Ukrainian land while it continues to lose more military capacity. We’re already in it if we let Russia win in Ukraine.
