Both more dangerous, and less just. The fears and shoulds argument doesn't actually terminate in surrender to russia. It powerfully argues against such a course of action for the reasons self stated by the seekers of safety or of moral warrant. AKA, waffling bullshit.
In mere reality, a triumphant russia is not safer or morally warranted - more that russia made a concerted effort to manufacture common propagandistic cause with western white supremacists, and this is the sole and actual reason that IA expresses the positions that he does. It's not more complicated, it's exactly that stupid, and neither Vlad nor IA can manage enough self control to occlude that fact for even a moment.
