A unified front is always stronger than piecemeal.

No it's not. That's why WW2 was different than WW1.

Ah yes, because WWII would have totally gone better if the Allies hadn't been unified... /s

When nations are disunited, they can be picked apart one at a time by a hostile force. When they work together to form an alliance, they can present a stronger resistance to deter or repel the enemy's invasion before it even reaches allied territory.

That's why russia hates NATO so much. Putin can't have Europe as long as European nations stand together in a strong defense coalition.

Watch your russian flag dude. Poland resisted 120 years with you fuckers.

Watch your mouth, you hypocrite. russia would love nothing more than for Europe to be disunited. You're the one pulling water for the kremlin, not me.
