    That makes you no better than Russia, using conflict in order to take away people’s rights and instituting a totalitarian surveillance state.

        What’s the point in defending against Russia if we’re going to be just like Russia?

          The price to pay so that we keep getting all resources.

              We can’t install favorable governments if China and Russia are too strong. Look at the French losses in West Africa.

                Ah, so you’re not advocating for a crackdown in opposition in the case of a hypothetical war with Russia, you are instead insinuating that there is a plan to do that. Do you have any evidence?

                  Just the changing laws that allow the governments to easily surveil the citizens and block their access to online platforms. We don’t need it now, why else but for war do we need it in the future?
