Your entire argument is “diplomacy doesn’t exist”. It’s not particularly solid

The EU funded genocide in Palestine for committing the cardinal sin of existing though, what’s your point? Russia surely sucks, so does Europe, I don’t wanna fucking die in the front lines and neither do you, so stop warmongering

You could apply that to most EU countries though? Colonialism in Africa, invasion of Iraq, support of the US in Afghanistan, bombing of Libya and Yugoslavia, funding the genocide in Gaza… What makes the EU better? I just happen to live in Europe and I want to push MY government towards peace negotiations because it’s the one I can affect

Yes, I would want more honest peace negotiations. What’s wrong with peace negotiations?

Presupposing that the “evil country” will break agreements isn’t good praxis in diplomacy. There would never be deescalation and diplomacy otherwise.

Russia didn’t attack the EU though?

“My side of government propaganda is right, the other side is wrong”. Get a grasp at geopolitics

Only reasonable conclusion from your former argument. If you wanna stop car imports from china, you may as well stop food products from Latin america, Africa and Ukraine, clothes from southeast Asia, cars from China (not just electric ones)… Basically all consumer products.

Military expenditure is how you avoid war

Surely giving more money to the lobbyists of Rheinmetall will make Europe much less likely to go to war!!

You think Russia will only attack if Europe is strong?

I think Russia wouldn’t attack the EU if we collectively agreed to maintain good relationships with Russia, as was the case for the past 30 years until EU+US pushed NATO boundaries to Russia and started executing Maidans in the former Russian sphere of influence. That’s not to absolve the Russian government, they’re fascist imperialist pieces of shit, but my point is that so is Europe (e.g. funding genocide in Gaza), and I don’t want another inter-imperialist war like WW1

Also, I don’t think it’s the fascists who want expenditure

But you’re willing to increase it even at risk of them getting to the government
