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. -- "And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch". Gospel of St. Mathew 15:14
