  There are lots of ways to start a war but they all end the same: everyone sitting down to discuss peace. For some reason, no one thinks to try discussing peace first.

    How are you supposed to make peace with a pedophile rapist who has staffed his office with racist Warhawk morons who are convinced they can do whatever they want with complete impunity, and they start bombing you while you are under diplomatic negotiations (twice!)?

      This isn’t new behavior. This is regular western shenanigans. I mean, western propaganda is incredibly effective. The indoctrination process starts shortly after birth, but there’s plenty of information out there to see the west has been evil for hundreds of years, and probably longer.

      The US has been involved in some form of war for roughly 230 out of it’s 250 years of existence. It’s what it do. War.

        Europe’s record really isn’t very different, but maybe they got it more out of their system after WW2, India (Britain), Vietnam (France), Argentina (France & Britain) Bosnia, most of Africa, Kosovo.

        It’s all evil. All of humanity. You can’t possibly tell me forcing women under blankets and not educating them is okay. The genocide in China.

        Fuck humans. Fuck the religions that humans made up. Fuck us all.

      After Justice.

      Which, the longer this goes, the more Justice will need to be served to get there.

    Oh I think it’s even standard practice to do just that. But when the bully swings their dick and says there’ll be war if the don’t get their will, what’s the target supposed to do? Just bend over without at least trying something first?

    There’s no motivation for the bully to see any reason there, their stance is that if they wanted, they can just take all they want, they are more powerful. Any “peace talks” before actually testing the merits of that assessment in real battle consist entirely of them demanding whatever they want and only path to “peace” is the smaller one just accepting to get fucked.

    So, then when the bully comes around, it’s only sensible the one in the right there defending their rights to exist and rights to sovereignty and all.

    Just reflecting on Russia vs Ukraine here, but I suppose the same is true for Iran vs Israel/US too.
