Every once and while?
When was the last time Russia invaded the EU?

I didn't say the EU, which has a collective defense treaty similar to that of NATO. I said Europe. And to answer that question:
2014, Ukraine
2008, Georgia
1992, Moldova and Romania
And of course the Soviet Union invading, occupying and brutally oppressing half of Europe after WW2 (including several countries now in the EU and NATO). Or have you forgotten? They haven't.

Well for starters Georgia is not in Europe. It is in asia.
I am not sure what you mean about 1992. If Moldova can be independent why not Transinistra?
Ukraine was subject to a coup and civil war. Right or wrong reacting to a coup is not the same as an unprovoked invasion.

Until this line it wasn’t clear whether you were deluded or actively pushing propaganda. Thanks for clearing that up.

You always give someone a chance. Once they give the game away, it's no longer worth your time to engage.
Because Russia every once in a while invades a part of Europe to carve off territory for itself, then holds the rest of the continent hostage by withholding gas during the freezing winter.
Why would you want peace with a country that is just biding its time before it starts it's next war?
