You can apply that to any issue. People will often vote against their best interest but it shows whether or not it was wanted.

My brother in Carl XVI Gustaf they obviously had better information that the plebian, but still systematically dismantled the military to five guys, a bucket, and a goat. I wouldn't trust them to put their boots on the right foot

As I said, it's fine to want the vote. I am not against it, but I'm not invested in it either. In the end our elected politicians are just human beings like all of us citizens, because they are citizens just like us. They're bound to make mistakes like anyone else. Blind trust isn't healthy but neither is contempt.

Sure sure. I didn't mean so. It's just that we had multiple governments that apparently "didn't see it coming" on anything.

In gymnasium evidently we did a better world analysis after the Russian invasion of Crimea and subsequent illegal annexation. Placing Russian controlled agents of chaos and ruski green men in the Eastern regions.

There was no question it would continue. Trump wants to get out of NATO, we'll see how it ends. Not only this, but we have the CCP blatantly extending their territory and tricking other nations into shitty infrastructure deals that never amount to what's promised.

This rustles me so sorry if I'm just going on tangents

I don't disagree that these issues are very real and have been for a long time. We just have to trust that human beings can change their outlook when they're proven wrong and that our politics are starting to align with the reality of our eastern neighbor attacking countries.
