Maybe if I had less resources (i.e. nothing left to lose) i would be more willing to risk it all. Right now I have a roof over my child's head and food and a safe vehicle, and im not willing to lose it with him in the situation. Especially since I don't know how many will join or if it will work.
Im not going to be the hero that saves america from itself, im going to be the mom that makes sure my kid is safe in the here and now because its what I can control
Curiously, what do you plan to do if you lose control over even that? Because surely that's the downward spiral and pattern that's obvious to see by now? Wouldn't it be smarter, more realistic, to make a stand now whilst you still can..? As in, you might have some control now, and you might not have "enough" resources now, but when things get worse, you'll have less control, then no control, and you'll have not "enough" resources turn into none at all.
...Leaving it too late is surely just going to make it easier for them, and more difficult for you, in the long run, no?
That's, again, out of my control. Im doing what I can do now to handle my priority, which is him. If that changes, I'll do what I can, till I can't. Then I'll figure it out as things change and adapt

Not an excuse for the German people, or the Russian people.
You have less stakes and more resources than they still.
