Well I didn’t say the troops will go in an official capacity. Ukraine is already using plenty of NATO esque gear, what’s another bloke in camo, Bulgarian AK and a tactical helmet?
I think the general population was okay with weapons being sent (not so much anymore) because it felt inconsequential. If the government shipped over actual human beings then I feel like there would be an uproar because now it feels real, now people will lose their children, spouses, cousins, siblings, etc. Sending killing machines to prolong a war? Totally fine. Sending over our own citizens to die? Absolutely not.

What if they cook up a PMC or a “foreign legion” and send some “undesirables”?
