    Most people in Western countries don’t want to die because they can now openly see how stupid it really is in most cases.

    I’m sure many would join if their country needs defending, but I can’t see many people wanting to join before that.

      Which is ironic, because another (less spoken) reason of NATO and building the army is to scare the opponent so it will think it is not worth to attack.

      The mere fact of taco saying that the US won’t help in case of attack from Russia increased chances of a war.
