    I agree with this. Russia is already dangerous, and has committed crimes on British soil in the last few years. I agree with the person you replied to on some points - yes war is bad for ordinary people and workers, and yes rich people profit from it. But history shows that countries that can’t defend themselves can get conquered and treated in terrible ways.
