that's the main issue though, at least in the US, many citizens feel it would be better to have a complete clear of the entire country so they likely just wouldn't fight if invaded, the amount of anarchists and just anti-government folk have been gradually rising ever since the pandemic. It doesn't seem like health wise the country is doing well regardless of the economy status. It is super demoralizing seeing all the news platforms only focus on external wars or how the south is arguing over if it's legal to jail someone over abortion that happend outside of state line, meanwhile a good portion of folk despite having one of the lowest unemployment rates in years is still living barely paycheck by paycheck. Most feel there's just nothing they can do.
