But I have my doubts. Ukrainians know life under Russian rule and value their recently earned independence. I think Americans are too spoiled to have that kind of fight. Europeans might because they are at the doorstep and they value their good life too.

The invasion already happened without much of a fight.

Edit to add: Yes Europeans might fight.
