Screw anyone who wants to keep funding this NATO proxy war that will just lead to nuclear armageddon. And if its not a proxy war, lets stop sending weapons and money

again, how will 'no war' ensure that Putin (1) fully withdraws out of Ukraine, and (2) gives a credible promise not to invade any more countries? These are the conditions for peace

The 'no war' narrative is highly indicative of old Soviet tropes: what it really meant was war against anyone that was against the regime until their annihilation, and the unconditional defeat of the Russian adversary. That is how the Russians define peace. Anyone who doesn't get that has no idea what the leadership in Russia is all about. The same can be said for "disarmament", which really means the unilateral disarmament of the adversary. There is a hefty literature from the Russians about this.
