Ukraine attacking russia in their territory with US and NATO weapons isn't going to make russia stop, it will give russia even more claims to keep up with the war. That's how weapons give you more war.

Only works if your adversaries also cut military spending.

Usa and nato spend 10 times more than what russia does. Open the link and do the math yourself. They have no good excuse to raise the military budget even according to your logic.

Unfortunately countries like Russia have shown that they’ll happily attack those unable to defend themselves.

Go check the history of your country, every authoritarian nation will try to do that. Raising military spending does not make people more secure, it only increase rulers and government power. Wars are fought by people not money.

This also means that increased military spending can cause less war if it deters those who would otherwise attack.

Spending more on war will get you more war. You can see it happening right now in ukraine and middle east.

1/3 are probably working class people who are aware that their conditions under the ukrainian government or russian government will be the same and that war will only bring them more misery.

Raise the military spend now.

Fuck no, cut the military spending and stop fueling wars.

Canada already spend billions of dollars in war, increasing military budget will only get you more war.
