From what? There's no serious indication of a russian threat to invade western europe.
> climate change can wait
That's actually the exact opposite of the truth. Like "rust never sleeps", neither does any other ongoing chemical process. Climate change will keep on chugging 24/7 and receive exactly the amount of productive attention it's already received, which is none. Every effort by equity since the broad awareness of this reality has been to obstruct any action that would disrupt current revenue streams.
Any educated, and even marginally objective person cannot deny the ongoing disaster of human environmental devastation in all forms, and it's ever increasing impact on all human activity.
However all major investors in the status quo are also clear on another fact: they're old enough to be dead before the worst of the consequences come to bear. So they advocate burning it down for profit today, and fuck the future.
I'm also old enough to not have to face to worst of it, but I actually feel we should steward our environment, not just burn it down for this quarters returns.
All of this is in addition to the reality that peace is more economically productive, and war is just one big murderous disaster. The use of military force through the so called cold war, and into the present, has left us with these festering military operations that are depriving all of us from a peaceful and productive life, and for what? So some hyper-rich asshole can have more. That's what "glory of god and country" is all about. Getting the idiot herd to dismember itself to see which ruling class asshat gets more stuff.

Well, either you are not following the openly stated intentions of the Russians or you are not taking them seriously. The former would be sheer ignorance, the latter would be a grave mistake.

The same was said of Ukraine. It made no sense, people thought Putin wouldn't be so self destructive, but here we are.
Given the stakes and consequences of being wrong, Europe is doing the right thing. Even a 5% chance of Putin invading Europe is worth buying an insurance policy for, given that Europe's existing policy has proved worthless.

You make it sound like war is a choice one makes, and that laying down arms, appeasement or surrender is a solution. It's been proved time and again that that just leads to more war.
