If you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now what would you do?

I saw Question 8 on this poll from Quinnipiac University referenced in a couple editorial columns and I'm curious how Languish would respond.

With the caveat that you never really know what you'd do until you're actually there; I think (or at least I'd like to think) that I would stay and fight.  As a radio engineer I have skills that an insurgency would need; and I would feel guilty for the rest of my life if I didn't.

[Grey Fox]

I'd fight. I'm a really bad shot but I have electronics skills that can probably be useful.

I would get my kids to safety first, tho.

[The Brain]

Stay and fight. An unprovoked Russian invasion was exactly what we prepared for in the army.

[Richard Hakluyt]

I'm not sure. I'm 65 years old now and have an eye condition, I wouldn't last two minutes on the front line.

But maybe there is some worthwhile stuff to be done back in the city 

[Admiral Yi]

The Man said 20-60 year olds stay and fight, so I'd stay and fight.

I've got no endurance so hopefully they'd push an AK into my hands and stick me in building and tell me when the Russians are coming.

[crazy canuck]

I would stay and fight and try to send Mrs CC to safety.  She would give me a withering look just before heading toward the shooting to see what she could do.

GTFO ASAP

GTFO ASAP

Would that be compatible with Lag (1994:1809) om totalförsvarsplikt (Swedish law regulating conscription and similar)?

[HVC]

I'd make excellent canon fodder.

My situation is slightly unique because my old homeland would come under invasion probably long before my new home would.

Assuming its an invasion of Hungary, as first priority I would endevaour to organise getting my sister's family and my parents to the UK via friends in Germany. Although, I'd fully expect my parents refusing to leave their home empty, and I would fully expect the UK government not to let them enter. But I think for the short term at least I could have them seek shelter in Germany.

Then, I think I would try to look for the best option available to do my part. Considering my age and physical shape, I would amount to nothing more than a bullet-soak for the enemy, but with my language skills I'd probably do more good as a clerk-like role somewhere but I'd imagine such roles are not available on a whim.

If I could convince myself that I am doing my bit from the UK while the 100+ years home of my family is ransacked and burned down, I'd probably do so, but if I couldn't, I am not sure I could live with myself sitting it out abroad.

That's the ticket.

Russia invading Iceland has to first defeat the US navy to have any hope of holding the island. The logistics would be untenable. Passive resistance until the Russians GTFO.

I would be in Spain with my RV a week/month before the Russkies invade. They had months of warning.

Also, I did not serve and I have no war placement.

[OttoVonBismarck]

I would stay and fight as it would be my obligation--I am between the age of 18 and 60. I'd make sure my wife and kids were on a train to safety first, and then report for whatever militia/national guard equivalent I'd be expected to join. in an actual invasion scenario, I suspect long-retired military officers like myself would probably be recalled to formal service, but I'm not sure specifically if we're talking "if America was invaded" vs "if you were Ukrainian."

I'm in nowhere near the shape I was in my youth or even my 30s, but I still lift weights, still do basic cardio, so I could move around without falling over dead. I haven't maintained my firearms proficiency anywhere near regular, but I assume with some brief training I could at least serve some purpose, I'd have no illusions I'd be John Rambo mode, but I would at least be able to make a proper showing.

[Eddie Teach]

I would stay at home just like now. Fighting and fleeing are both too much work.
