When WW1 broke everyone was able and itching to go.
Austria Hungary was just waiting for a reason to strike at Serbia, France just needed one spark to attack Germany. Germanies declaration of war against an ally Russia was more like an early christmas pressent. Britain was ready to cut the upstarts down to size and Belgium being violated was an excellent opportunity.
And we're talking about a full blown war, not a proxy war.
Right now it seems only the US is willing to go to war to counter Russia, and even there the population is shifting to pacifist.
Europe ?? Forget it, going into Syria is the a more effective way to loose the elections than hookers and fraud.
