i'm simply saying that life is not fair. the world is not fair and sometimes the only choice is to make the lessor of two shitty choices. whereas, not making a choice is just setting yourself up to be the victim of who might choose you... i.e. August 21, 1968.
I doubt it's just as straightforward as that. It heavily reeks of populism, saying 'you either install this bleeding radar, or you are against us with the Enemy.' Thanks god I'm not a professional politician, but in the today's world, I feel there's some capacity for a small country to be part of some alliance and follow some direction, not sending its soldiers to someone else's war to die, and not placing extra targets to be bombed during someone else's war on its very own territory, at the same time. This might just be too idealistic, I can imagine that.
