And I'm sure many people would say, I'm sure we would.

But then if we're still under a triple lock, like with the UN Security Council, and I get what you're saying with the Assembly, you can definitely see Russia vetoing it there.

But I don't think you want to send troops somewhere where Russia doesn't want them to go.

Yeah, exactly.

It's not peacekeeping.

You know, like when you're saying about, obviously the world has changed and where we are on neutrality.

We are obviously militarily neutral, but we are not politically neutral.

We're very much taking a side on both the situation in Ukraine and in Palestine.

And I mean, as far as the defence forces are training some personnel that are actually going to Ukraine...

So that's a more like obvious issue if we're that sacrosanct on neutrality.

Is that not something we should be challenging on more of a forefront if it's this idea that we can't be any way involved?

We are involved.

We're so involved and we're part of the European Union.

Like there has to be, especially as things, particularly with Russia having literally a war on Europe's doorstep, there has to be, the world has changed.

It's not the same.

There are more aggressions and we need to be, I suppose, protected from them.

And Europe can't have a lagging backdoor in some ways.

That is what is actively happening right now.
