Opinions on the article from Nathalie Tocci about Europe "finding the stomach for war"?
These sorts of comments about war always rub me the wrong way, especially when they come from someone who wouldn't bear the consequences of their own ideas.
Maybe I misunderstood, but I felt like the article scorned young Italians and others for not wanting to fight a war for their country. Reading it felt like she sees war as a game of numbers where you chug as many young men into it until you come out ahead.
Its very easy to say "send troops to Ukraine, be ready for conscription etc etc", when you're not the one being sent to the front lines.
As a young Eastern European male, my demographic would be the first to suffer the consequences of the war spreading. I understand she doesn't want Russia advancing further into Europe, but I believe (even though I am admitedly not super informed on the topic) the ideas in the article are a gross oversimplification of the situation.
