But it’s not the 20th century anymore. THERE WILL BE NO WAR!

There will be no war only if we have a capable army. And what century it is now doesn’t matter. They thought roughly the same thing after the end of World War I, that there would never be another war. “Very good” measures were taken to prevent a new war. The “League of Nations” (an analogue of the UN) was created. And what did it all lead to? About thirty years later, World War II began.

An independent state can only exist if it has its own capable army. If there is no army, the state will not be able to pursue an independent policy. It can be easily pressured. If the leaders of the country do not feel the strength behind them, it will be extremely difficult for them to pursue an independent policy, especially when their interests conflict with the interests of countries that have a capable army.
Besides, such a country will be easy to seize under some fabricated pretext. I advise you to study the pretext under which they attacked Iraq. Then much will become clear about whether war is possible or not. And if Iraq had a normal army, the Americans would not have dared to attack.

I will quote Napoleon again: “A people that does not want to feed its army will feed a foreign army.”

But if NATO attacks you, you’ll know!

I’ll surrender and ask to be re-educated as an American.
Well, if you want to surrender at the first sign of danger, and beg for mercy from the victors, then you really have no place in the army.
But don’t call those who are ready to defend their freedom and independence in case of danger with bad words (like “rednecks,” etc.). It just looks bad.

3) It’s better to have this kind of idiocy than our idiocy.

If it really is idiocy, then why strive to emulate it by adopting their experience? Maybe it’s better to try to do something normal?
