Taxes are necessary but if they are too high it lessens the motivation to work. The purpose of working hard is to make money not give it away. If Russia conquers Ukraine, it will lead to more defense spending as the threat from Russia would increase. Giving the Sudetenland to Hitler didn't appease him.

False. China has lower inequality and simultaneously far greater economic growth and more innovation.

And Putin is bad, but not remotely as harmful to world peace as the US regime. The US (both parties) has been involved in literally 200 military interventions just in the last few decades.

Democracy is not when a black woman is chosen as the Nurembeg-deserving war criminal in chief.

Military intervention does not mean harming world peace. Examples, World War I and II and Korean War.

World War I was a war between Imperialist countries, World War II was won by the Soviets (who were responsible for 90% of Nazi deaths), and the Korean "War" was an act of genocide from the United States against the Korean people, both to the north and south of the 38th parallel. The United States was in World War I as a creditor, which partially led to World War II as all of the allied powers shifted their debts to Germany, aiding in the rise of Nazism.
