Perhaps we could avoid war instead by making Russia a geopolitical ally rather than continually making them an enemy?

You’re making this out as if this is Europe’s fault and Russia is the innocent party here. Perhaps Russia should stop fucking about in Europe, pull out of Ukraine and start to work on thawing diplomatic relations. The ball is in their court.

No this chat by starmer is sabre rattling stupidity , what i dont fully understand is why they do it.

Probably to act as a deterrent to further Russia escalations and help with the security of Ukraine.
