Why wouldn't you defend your country? Aren't you thankful for liberal democracy?

Uninteresting kohlface topic

Very insightful post, maps are the heart of KC

Warrior East vs sissy spoiled West

Eesti what are you saying

The answer depends on how you understand the question. Here in the West "defending your country" is sending soldiers to Afghanistan.

Yeah, that's important to note. Finns have never forgotten that there is a credible military threat from Russia.

 

Germans hear the same sentence and think nobody is going to attack us anyway, so it's a weird scenario, and it's probably some bs about sending troops to help the Americans extract oil from some desert.

 

The times are changing, though.

26.3% of the german population is between 18 and 39. It would be only interesting what these people say.

It's worthless if some 45yo boomer says that he would defend germany. He knows that he won't have to.

I watched an interesting video on the topic recently. The chairman of "linksjugend solid" (youth organization of the Left party in Germany) debates a soldier on whether Germans should defend their country.

50% are women so....

Finns are fucking based as always

 

Cockhole number is objectively laughable as you saw how many of their whores fled at the very first opportunity

I thought “defending your country” always means against an external threat (another country). If they wanted to know if you support sending troops to Afghanistan, why they did not ask “do you support sending troops to Afghanistan?” instead?

It's just a cope by a limpwristed soyboy. In reality anyone asked this would understand it in the way you framed it

I'm not thankful for the current government

 

bet that 45yo boomer would be a better soldier than unwillingly drafted 20yo

 

lets say the external threat is a terrorist organization from another country, is sending troops there "defending your country"?

Watch bitter lake by adam curtis for some schizo kino

 

Also what a ritarted question - der antword is obviously NO!

well, you say "no", but the American government in 2001 said "yes"

Do you actually believe that the US government represents its people?

 

Lol, lmao even

I'm sorry, did I say that?

If you didn't imply it then your response is a complete non sequitur

Why would I be a pawn for a random war?

 

My life does not depend on this country and if there was a fight to break out I'd just go somewhere else and nobody can blame me for it.

Some people don’t take questions literally

tbh the map alone doesn't tell you anything unless you also show the map with the percentages of people who would let others defend their country.

I see how you'd think that, but what I meant was that external threats and defending one's country can be interpreted differently depending on who you ask; also, it's quite probable that soon after 9/11 many Americans would agree that sending soldiers to Afghanistan was self-defense; but that is a moot point anyway since OP's map features only Europe
