I'd hate to find myself fighting a war, but any military engagement that replays Adolf Hitler's brand of imperialistic agenda over Europe in particular and the world in general, whether it focuses on Ukraine or Taiwan, is an extreme sacrifice worth pursuing.

Most liberal democracies only exist today because of the sacrifice from those living in liberal democracies in the 1930s and 1940s. We cannot back down when it's our turn to protect fundamental values.

Yes. I would be happy to fight such war if we plan to make an example out of imperialistic nations.

Hence my remark, as that is going to ultimately happen if things keep slowly escalating.

I don't think this can escalate more from Russia's side. They already invaded neighbouring countries, and not only are they keeping their war machine running but they are also threatening more countries while shifting their economy to a war economy.

At this point, either Russia voluntarily stops it's invasion and leaves Ukraine or inevitably NATO will have to step in. Whether it's before or after Russia invaded a NATO member is still to be determined.

As Russia is all-in, the only option on the table that prevents NATO from stepping in is to support Ukraine and supply them with the necessary and sufficient equipment to drive out Russia. If there's no political consensus to deliver what's needed, it's only a matter of time before Europe's armies are deployed.
