Americans, be proud of your country for its Ukraine support

US cops a lot of flack - but without them now Ukraine would have struggled. Great job.
Other NATO members' support has been very mixed. Some wishy-washy.

@AthrillatheHunt You're welcome 😉. My comment is based mostly on observation, right here on SW.

I've been around long enough that I've learned to despise uncritical national pride wherever it rears its ugly head. I'm ashamed to think back to the time when I bought into it myself.

Daniel Francis wrote "
A nation is a group of people who share the same illusions about themselves" - and - "Canadians depend on this habit of "consensual hallucination" more than any other people."

I agree with his general observation about nations but see no basis for asserting that it applies more to Canadians than to others.

@Really reality is just a shared hallucination. Lol

@AthrillatheHunt
reality is just a shared hallucination.
I'm aware of that possibility and think of it often, while puzzling over the fact that even if it's an illusion I seem to have no option other than to play along with it.

@Really if you don’t buy into the mass hallucination they will call you crazy . Seen it happen time and time again .
