You're assuming that Russia doesn't have any imperialist aims and will simply magically turn peaceful once the evil, evil west stops manufacturing weapons
I assume every nation with an army have imperialist aims
That's certainly a take. So eg. Finland is an imperialist country because we have a military, which is definitely not meant to just keep the Russians from rolling over the border and doing a Ukraine / Georgia / Chechnya to us. I take it your view is that if we or the Georgians or Ukrainians didn't have a military, we wouldn't be in any danger?
Yes finland is just as imperialistic as the others they just are not in position to invade anyone. You don't need an army to defend yourself from someone, people can defend themself much better without someone above them punishing them if they don't follow authoritarian orders.
Spot the anarchist. What's an anarchist defensive force look like anyways?
