Imagine if your country was invaded by another, directly at war Now maybe you, personally, would think "good, it gives us an opportunity to get rid of our owners, start over" or something along the line And then what about the vast majority? Lots would certainly settle for "defend the country at all cost, by all means necessary", blind patriotism, blind support for the war, kind of like iraq invasion after 911, anyone questioning the war effort was deemed a traitor That's what's happening to ukrainians going all in for ukraine, they don't realize their "allies" are the bigger existential threat, bigger than russia, they failed to see the bigger picture, they failed to see that they've been setup and are simply being used as a battering ram against russia, nothing more
