Unlike the US , who is ALWAYS actively at war . preparing for war is actually a stand down . Here is the thing , we have become the new USSR , invading one nation after another . Question what we are being told people . The Russians are not the Soviet Union , anymore than modern Japan is still Imperial Japan . Russia CANT afford to be aggressive in the way it was in the Soviet days . They can’t sustain a prolonged conflict with a major power . At this point NATO should be dissolved , as Germany by itself could keep them in check , not to mention Germany and all the others in the EU that would join in . They are having a population crisis , the US has easily twice the population of Russia . China is a bigger threat between the two , they could afford to lose millions , and not even bat an eye .
