I live under a rock, can you clarify why the Economist wants Russia to want war, and who those friends are?

You are not alone. The economist articles related to Russia/Ukraine for the past few weeks are pure war mongering.
Re: Why Vladimir Putin and his entourage want war
#5my favorite hot take from the economist about this war was that one article that considered if Russia might lose because the roads in Ukraine during spring are just dirty and bad
from one of the worst publications to get one’s opinions from this graduated into comedy
edit: for some people it was a serious enough proposition to entertain that i had to check and indicate that no, the analysis shows that russia won’t lose because of dirty roads

It is hard not to be skeptical about the drum beats for war. Pick any conflict from Vietnam to Syria/Iraq and you'll find a complicit media parroting false pretenses.
Any amount of reckoning (fact checks?) for these past incidents (dangerous misinformation?) would go a long way.

#8So to begin with, fact, Putin is a better chess player than Biden.
You might think, oh it's just a board game, computers are better at it. You could say that.
Apparently the strategy right now is get right next to the border of Ukraine and do military exercises, then watch as NATO loses its shit with every passing second.

I don't think you're too cynical, but we can have our own takes. From what I was able to piece together, Russia isn't the one starting this conflict, in action. It's NATO aligned countries trying to get Ukraine to join NATO. Russia made it very clear, that ain't happening and they'll go to war over it.
So who's still agitating for war?
The zero-evidence claims that Russia was about to invade sure look like pure propaganda from the same people who are thirsty for it.
