    If Nato fails and Russia attacks, I’m not going to fight. All those xenophobic extremists nationalists in my country that fell for the Russian propaganda can clean up their own mess they caused.

      If Nato fails and Russia attacks

      That already happened back in 2022 (arguably all the way back to '08). NATO didn’t do shit because it’s just the US military wearing a dozen different European baseball caps. And after the US finished scrubbing out of both Iraq and Afghanistan, it didn’t have the logistics to launch another Asiatic land war (while keeping China at gunpoint in the Pacific and Iran in check in the Middle East).

      American slippage is already apparent across Latin America, Africa, and the South Pacific. Things are only going to get worse for DC going forward.

      You would have to be suicidal to stick your neck into that mess, at this stage of the game.
