Good. It discourages attacks from Russia, the only bellicist nation in the region.

  Interesting. I learnt the word 'bellicist' for the first time.

    I think the more proper word in that context is bellicose (adjective). Bellicist is a noun. Same root as the more common words belligerent and antebellum. You may have also heard of “casus belli” (rationale for declaring war).

      You are correct - bellicose would have been the proper form.
