I agree with you that you do not know Russian propaganda. You do not recognize it when it deceives you.

No one wants a war with Russia. Everyone wants to do business there.

The Soviet Union limited its business with the world, and at least before WWII, some supported the idea of a war to chase communists out. Operation Barbarossa was not that kind of war. It was a part of the fantasy of German fascists that they could expand Germany by killing people living east of it.
