Pretty much, yeah. I’m not sure how much of that is people who’ve become accustomed to war being something you can choose to do in a vague “over there” rather than something forced on you, and how much these sentiments would shift if they experienced the latter, but there was a relatively recent study in the UK where half of British youth said they’d refuse to go to war under any circumstances.

A lot of these countries were Soviet satellites for a long time, so maybe it wouldn't be that much different, and they figure it's better than dying, idk. I can't speculate.
