They are just being naive when it comes to Russia. I guess it’s a natural human thing. People just before WW1 or two didn’t exactly think it’d unfold the way it did.
I mean, it’s not like I don’t understand the sentiment. I do. I think that wanting to get out of NATO, not getting involved in any wars not on their soil, and leaving Europe to its own devices, is a coherent position to have.
But then, don’t pretend it has anything to do with pacifism, freedom, or striving for a better world. Because it’ll be a world where the last islands of freedom are increasingly puppeteered by authoritarian regimes.
