Well, you might be right, I agree that war is a waste of resources. But that's actually why EU should stop them, by offering Russia some tangible alternative, a path to prosperity. Instead we cut the ties completely (which we didn't do with U.S. when it attacked Iraq, Israel genociding Palestinians also doesn't seem to matter).
Instead, EU wants to embrace the same kind of (they call it) "military keynesianism". They think military spending will fix their economies. (In fact, attempt to use war as a way to prop up the economy was suggested as a reason why Putin started the war.)
It's also bad because longterm, it puts Russia on the same path the U.S. has been - a big weapons manufacturer that is looking to export a war somewhere.
