@nachtet thank you for the clarification! With respect to your opinion – war for the *defenders* at the drawing board is harder than peace (also known as capitulation).
See Latvia 1917 vs 1940, Czechoslovakia 1936 vs Poland 1939, Vichy France vs De Gaulle France for a reference.
@jonn I mean this from a deciders-at-the-drawing-board perspective.
Not from the perspective of people living / fighting in it.
