Its nuts how Putin uses the laziest propaganda imaginable and it works.Russia is just trying to drive a further wedge between the US and the EU. We'll see if it actually works out.

When it comes to war.Are you a pacifist?
Really poor attempt at trolling. 1/10. Not surprising though seeing your history of posting . Maybe sit back and wait for an opinion to be given to you so you can regurgitate it.Didn’t you say we should avoid any conflict with Russia because they are crazy enough to cause a nuclear holocaust?
There are people worse than that? Dams
Russia is not a major power in any way, other than having a large- if fairly low-skill- military. Their living standard is poor and in terms of economy, the EU is 10x larger. Spain alone has approximately the same GDP.Really poor attempt at trolling. 1/10. Not surprising though seeing your history of posting .

Yes there are way worse people . If anything , Putin has been soft and docile. US tax dollars are being used to kill Russian citizens. A more staunch leader would refuse diplomatic discussions and take that as a sign to attack the west .
Almost 25% of Russia does not even have indoor plumbing.Russia is not a major power in any way, other than having a large- if fairly low-skill- military. Their living standard is poor and in terms of economy, the EU is 10x larger. Spain alone has approximately the same GDP.
Russia is struggling enough with Ukraine, they have zero shot against the West.
Sad..Almost 25% of Russia does not even have indoor plumbing.

Never said you did. I just hope it doesn't turn into an Iraq situation where you think your removing the worst and then the entire area just goes to shit.
Now , russia doesn't have a poison like Islam entrenched deep into its culture like the middle east but that's not to say there isn't factions waiting to rise up.
Its a tough situation all around.

I love the Kremlin!

You’re a good boy comrade.
No shit. Never said they had a shot but id rather them not shoot their shot at all.Russia is not a major power in any way, other than having a large- if fairly low-skill- military.

Almost every is not a number. That's a vague statement.Almost every bullet, bomb, or missile that has ever killed a US or allied soldier since WW2 was manufactured and designed in Russia.
That's not entrenched I'm their culture like Afghanistan per se. He's just taking advantage of their mind disease for his own benefit

When it comes to war.
Yes i am. Seeing how the institution destruction is multigenerational. It solves nothing permanently and only offers temporary security until the next war.
While pitting humans against one another.
When we look at other people as subhuman we have destroyed a part of ourselves.
In relation to personal self protection i am an advocate for extreme violence by whatever means you deem necessary. Including but not limited to support of the second amendment,
castle law, stand your ground. And i don’t victim blame as is all the rage these days.
It is a peace with No Quarter.
Such is the duality of man.
You are not a pacifist. You don't know what pacifism is.
Which you have proven in your second paragraph.
This is the less embarrassing option at least. Being a pacifist is substantially worse than saying you're a pacifist because you don't know what it is.
I highly recommend you look up what pacifism entails. You'll never call yourself a pacifist ever again if you do. Too embarrassing. Certainly not the duality of man stance. Not a man stance at all. It's the opposite.
Wars have been raging for thousands of years. Saying institutional destruction is multigenerational is pretty moot when that's a small fraction of our timeline and this has never stopped. A generation is 20-30 years.
Statistically speaking the greatest tool humans have to decrease the amount of wars is representative democracy. Despite you calling everyone who disagrees with you a warmonger most of us aren't getting hard ons at the thought of hundreds of thousands of people being brutally murdered. Letting us vote has demonstrated that the masses are much harder to convince of war than the elite. Especially against other democracies.
Democracies go to war with dictators.
Dictators go to war with dictators.
And dictators go to war with democracies.
Democracies engaging in full scale war with other democracies... insanely low compared to the above three.
Prior to WW2 there were around 24 democracies in the world. Now we're at around half. This is a pretty new thing humans are doing. Getting democracies. In relation to the thousands of years of human history (and war) it's a very new thing. We're not even a single generation into being the majority.
But what we can see in this very limited timeline of human history is that it's extremely hard to get countries that are representative democracies to go to war with one another at scale. There's still violent tiffs of various categories between us at times where people get killed.
And while there are some full scale wars they are substantially rarer than any of the alternatives.
