Two undersea cables in Baltic Sea disrupted

I agree. Do you want to sign up and go fight in a war? Or should other people besides you die? It's easy to say it "needs to be dealt with" but it's not an easy thing to do.

I lived in Finland most of my adult life. Gladly. Freedom isn’t free, I understand that

Some of us live close enough that it's not really an option, surrendering to Russians don't work that great if you live in Eastern Europe. I will volunteer first day to join Polish Army.

It's never an easy thing to do or one that should come to fruition, but yes, I would contribute to the effort for my country if it was so.

If you would have asked me while I was a young Marine I'd say, "hell yes." I recall the commandant visiting in Afghanistan and Marines were asking him where the next combat zone is because they are eager for more action.

> Or should other people besides you die?

Yes. We literally have a country willing to do this for us if we give them the weapons.

Otherwise, a country whose population is unwilling to fight for itself isn't a country, just a convenient demarcation on a map.

Ditto. Even though I'm an expat right now if Poland calls to arms I'm coming home and fighting to defend my country.

Living in a country next to Russia, it basically feels more and more likely that I will actually have to participate in a war effort. Not really sure how since I have not undergone military training, but it's definitely something to keep in mind these days.

I can't tell if you guys or the Finns are better at dealing with invaders, but I can't think of a higher compliment on this matter.

Countries don't fight, people do.

So when you say, "country willing to do this for you" (how nice!), what you mean is a bunch of politicians and officers are willing to go in the street and capture random civilians to conscript them. Because that's the reality of how Ukraine is "willing to fight".

Against Russia? Yes.

My grandfather did it the last time, I'm ready any day for a rematch.

For now I'm hoping that our brothers in Ukraine slap Russia hard enough to deter any invasion plans for a few more decades.
