No.

But Ukraine is not a rat hole. Its no Detroit.

Unlike you, we know exactly what it is like to have snotty little 
dictators destroying our real estate. We have, so to speak , the T shirt ...

The USA despite its bravado lots *only 0.39%* of its population in WWII, 
and no territory was ever invaded and only Pearl Harbour was attacked.

Poland lost 10% of its population and was utterly destroyed and then 
subjugated for the next 50 years.

Germany lost 11% and was utterly destroyed and split in half.

Russia lost 15% of its population, and was pretty messed up

Britain lost 6%. And was smashed up badly. But not invaded.

Europe does not like war, and does not want war.
But at lest we understand why we have a military. To stop it happening 
again.
