nations rally
but it takes a legit threat
Russia has the GDP of Italy, with a crashing population. they can't even beat Ukraine after two years
Mexico is scarier
nobody takes Russia seriously anymore
Discussion
Indeed public perception can change on a dime, and when the threat isn't in your face, you don't feel that fight or flight response, for me personally even if my neighbouring countries invaded, i don't think i'd be motivated to defend our borders
Why do you say Mexico is scarier or you just mean in terms of their economic power should they choose to turn on the US?
tequila beats vodka and they don't have a crashing population to the lack of babies
my main point is that russia's a lot weaker than people think
