Explain. Why would a realisation be dawning just now?
Not necessarily right now, but once you connect the dots.
Since the last election, things basically went from "who needs a military anyway?" being a not that uncommon stance to a huge fucking war next door, hybrid attacks and a noticeable uptick in espionage. And today we were reminded that it's actually happening - our most important ally is now led by a maniac.
all of which happened under biden's administration so...
Thanks, Democrats!
...our most important ally ~~is now~~ has always been led by maniacs.
We're trading one ghoul for another. Even if you think it will get worse and don't think the Dems will deserve credit for what happens alongside the Republicans, never forget that it was the Democrats who made this possible. They could stop these things, but they don't. They don't even throw themselves in front of it as a speed bump.
