Would you defend your country in a war if it was attacked?

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

No. I don't feel any attachment to "my country", despite having spent my entire life in it. I'm not obliged to "love", let alone give my life for my country, just because I was born in it.

If Russia could annex any country they want without resistance they would also attack us after Poland.

There's literally zero evidence for any of those claims. The conflict with Ukraine has deep roots and wssn't decided on a whim... Did the same experts, who promised us the collapse of Russia's economy under our sanctions, convince you that Putin is a maniac on a quest to resrore the USSR?

Ukrainans are fighting to uphold their petty national pride, nothing more (albeit with admirable tenacity). Their lives would've went on unchanged, had they capitulated right away.

No. I don't care for this infantile species.

I had no choice arriving here, you get nothing from me, ill just lay back and hopefully a few corrupt leaders have their utopia taken from them.

I never cared for being alive, only reason I'm staying alive now is so i can watch the UFO hearings, maybe see what unfurls in the coming years.

Thats literally all that i care about lol

My advice to my children has been to register as a conscientious objector.
Personally, my first choice would to be to escape the place entirely

I would go in first row to get shot. At least wouldnt be cricitized for suicide…

I like firearms but I'm I don't think I'm physicially fit to be in the army, I'm underweight, have scoliosis and can't handle the stress you go through in the army, so probably no, I'm not too patriotic for Czechia anyway. I will much rather shoot myself alone.

As an American, the way its going now absolutely not.

The USA has indeed gotten involved in many useless wars it should've never been in. A ton of needless death has happened because of it. Not to mention our VA is utter crap so what you get as compensation for getting your legs blown off isn't even worth it. No way I'm willingly putting myself through all of that. Though I imagine they're not losing sleep over not having my fat autistic ass as a soldier.

The only thing that would make me reconsider is if the people attacking us were way worse by comparison (especially if they dealt the first blow), but such a scenario seems unlikely given how massive our military budget is. I'd like to think by the time that does happen I'd have already GTFO'd.

I would even though it's somewhat illogical, because I might be fighting against people that might be defending their country too. However I cannot envision any future in which my own country can possibly be attacked by another, nor one that would require me to defend it personally. So it would have to be something big were my country to be attacked to make the question relevant.

For one thing, it would make it much easier for me to die. Although I would prefer if the war was over as quickly as possible. War causes suffering.
