To claim accurate description of Putin, his government, and his policies and actions in Ukraine, is 'beating the war drums' is simply absurd.

I consider it a serious question why you feel a charter for discussing progressive Socialism should bar criticism, even expression of distaste, for Putin. He is hardly a progressive Socialist.
