Russia is already at (asymmetric) war with the West. I think you mean traditional military engagement, which is a greater possibility with all of these recent NATO country probings. Accelerationists + rando crazy people, war hawks, and defense contractors sure want it. Without finding real perpetrators and verifiable evidence, it still lives in the domain of speculation and politicians can and will use fictional narratives to do whatever they want. Open war should never be started "preemptively", however NATO needs to and is preparing diligently for possible need for defense. Eastern Europe won't be safe until Putin is gone and replaced by a moderate who isn't a nationalist expansionist.
