If Russia stopped the invasion there would be no need for using the weapons of war. Right now Russia is the one ensuring weapons of war are needed and used.

Just here to remind everyone that this includes nukes.

Donald Trump backed us out of the Iran Nuclear Deal, making it much more likely for Iran to develop nukes. And now that Trump will most likely abandon Ukraine, Europe will be looking to increase their nuclear arsenal as a deterrent against Russia.

So there’s about to be a whole lot more nukes in a much more volatile world.

All thanks to an anti-democratic felon rapist who America can’t seem to put in the rear-view mirror. Great country!!!

If Europeans don’t make weapons of war, someone will eventually conquer them.

And y’know, we have yet to see open, full-scale war between atomic powers. Nuclear deterrence seems to work (for now).

Weapons of war are already being used. And not only against soldiers but also civilians. They are used against the people of europe by russia. We shall not let us be slaughtered.

If we let those, that use weapons of war and terror to conquer the world by force, win then it will be those that exist and rule in the future, just like in natural selection we wont have less tyrants with weapons of war, terror and supressiom but more, consequentelly they will be used more.

Additionally, if you want to talk about nuclear weapons then those already exist and again russia who seems to have no problem using any weapon of war, unless they face consequences, has them too. In fact europe should do everything to keep a lunaric like putin as far away from the figurative line, whose overstepping does mean nuclear war, because if we let him step arbitrarily close to that line than it is indeed only a matter of time until that line is overstepped.

Does Lemmy have an im14andthisisdeep forum yet? Because I’m seeing more and more that belongs there lately.
