Not an entire country. The leadership of the country, yes.
> And this seems rational and is a justified reason to send conscripted civilians to their deaths?
I'm not sending anyone. If the people of Ukraine decides it is time to stop defending themselves I will accept their decision with a sad resignation.
> So much so that it "satisfies" you?
Yes. It satisfies me that we are on the good side of this conflict. Would satisfy me even more if the conflict were not happening. But spending my tax money to help people protect themselves is much better, much more satisfying than the usual status quo which is to spend my tax money to hurt innocents.
Eagerly awaiting your further questions on the topic.
Yes.
