Being anti war when Russia is around is essentially the same thing as being pro Russia, because they’re willing and able to use violent force to get what they want, and if you’re not willing to defend yourself, you will be subjugated.
“Diplomacy doesn’t exist” isn’t the strong argument you think it is. In Russia, government propaganda makes the same claims about the US and Europe, you just happen to live in the US or Europe and you believe your state propaganda. How about we, you know, not fucking kill each other, and use that money to save lives in healthcare for example.
France literally just pulled out troops from Burkina Faso a few weeks ago (still French troops stationed in many African countries), and keeps overseas territories annexed without referendum.
Again, this isn’t a question of whether Russia is bad or not. It’s a question of whether you want to prevent being thrown into the meat grinder / nuclear apocalypse. I’d rather, you know, avoid that
As I said before, Russia doesn’t truly do diplomacy, if they do it’s just to keep you distracted. The only language they truly respect is that of force, and they’ve shown that over hundreds of years.

Remind me again, which country is currently actively invading and occupying multiple neighbouring countries?
Like, I realise every major power has been a colonising force at some point in their life, but only one is currently doing it.
