European friends are in full “support the troops” mode now

After laughing at USians for nigh on twenty years while saying, 'those guys never learn their lesson, they love guns and spend ridiculous amounts of money on wars of their own making yet they can't afford schools or hospitals.' Turns out, Europeans aren't so exceptional; when it comes to the crunch, all it takes is one month of news cycle and many people are happy to let themselves be fooled, once, twice, as many times as it takes. For shame.

Who knew this guy was an inspiring philosopher. Tbf to most irl people I know, most people are just aghast at the war and would like it to stop. Their opinion on NATO hasn't changed; they just believe what NATO and it's mouthpieces say about Russia.
