Poland and Hungary appear to be worth standing up for. Don’t know about the others. WW2 was between the Krauts and the Russians. Poland got divided. Next thing you know GB and the surrender monkeys start a war. A war starts when someone fights back. Most of Nato will fight to the last Pole/Hungarian.
There are a few peoples who are cursed by their locations.
Poland, Israel, the Kurds come to mind, but there are more.
Always being attacked or threatened by larger and/or much more aggressive powers that are located just to d*** close to them.
It (freedom, or just staying alive) requires the strongest of possible defenses, an active defense policy, and lots of vigilance.
USA is blessed with a far better geographical situation.
Whether the next generation will defend it or not, time will tell..
