Moronic statement: "How could the British and American pollies convince their citizens.."
Since when do politicians need to convince anyone of anything? They just do what they want to.
Hence the USA poking its snotty nose into the affairs of various countries around the world. The average American doesn't even know where half the countries are that their forces are involved in, much less want to invade them. The politicians and banksters call the shots and the enlisted men come home in body bags, horribly mutilated, or sometimes don't come home at all.
Latest example is their mercenaries and advisers being caught red-handed in Ukraine helping the Ukrainians "keep order". Desperate to keep the eastern Ukrainian oil & gas from slipping into Putin's hands! Good luck with that one, Biden!
