>Would you deem tweets that encourage donations toward Ukraine's military defence to be "promoting war"?

Actually this is promoting war. Because if you are donating to someone who is at war, you are participating in this war.

Some people just think that Russians will never come and ask them why did these people give money to kill their brothers.

Also it works like a promo. First you are supporting someone with tweets. Then you are sending money. Then you are sending weapons. Then they send you to the battlefield, because You know, it's very important to support Ukraine.

It is supporting a side in a war who didn't choose to be at war.

Insofar as that meets the criteria of "supporting war", then yes it's "supporting war" (a country's defence).

I see that as a wholly good thing.

I guess it's true that there would be no more war if everyone just rolled over any time a tyrant wanted to conquer a territory. But I think you can agree that wouldn't mean an end to the worst aspects of war, correct? Once the tyrant conquers, the death and oppression doesn't abate. At some point, people have to fight back, and we call that war.

No one wants to be in a war except malignant psychopaths like Putin. But once you are, the only way back is through.
