On the contrary, I would rather NOT go to war. You know what’s the best way to get that to happen? Have a strong enough military that bullies like Putin and Xinnie will think very very carefully before launching a ‘special military operation’ into your country.

History, at least in the US, does not support your position on this. Hell, the US has rebranded what war means so we can get involved in even more foreign conflicts and kill more civilians. (“Enemy combatant” and “peacekeeping actions”)
At one point under Obama and Trump the US was at war in seven different countries. (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.)
And people call it a bad thing that Trump got us out of Syria and Afghanistan, lol.
Our military is not a tool of peace. It’s a weapon for corporate interests to brandish throughout the world.
There is no “both sides” here. Russia invaded Ukraine, repeatedly since 2014, salami slicing it. It interfered in elections. It killed multiple people on foreign soil, using highly dangerous, banded methods, that could easily have killed many others than the target. Putin has completely destroyed any democracy in Russia and murders his opponents.
Countries joining NATO to get protection from Russia, or the EU, to get trade deals, is not remotely the same as Russia invading Ukraine in bloody war. Or any of the murderous shit Putin has done.
Don’t forget the postcard to Russia inviting them over for tea
You chickenhawks are always so loud and self-righteous, until someone wants to force you or your kid to actually go fight in the war.

You must have confused me for a german politician
Its almost like the west tried to be cordial with Russia before Russia decided to be an expansionist imperialistic power…
Both west and russia are exmpansionist imperialistic powers

This is a fact and has nothing to do with sides or teams. Both the west and russia are exmpansionist imperialistic powers

Which sovereign nations have the west invaded recently?

RB probably also isn’t aware that the US has been helping Saudi Arabia starve and brutalize Yemen for the last eight years too.
One of the reasons why I’m anti-war is that history has shown the US to be the bad guys more often than not.
That pic is obviously of a much younger Putin and Merkle.
More recently you have this instead … https://tenor.com/en-CA/view/merkel-putin-eyeroll-gif-9164919
Or maybe that where he put Merkel with her fear of dogs into this situation
