War is NEVER necessary. We talk about how we're the best species around but we can't even live next to each other without wanting to shove a gun barrel in our neighbor's faces and murder their children. "But he's building the same weapons that we have. And WE are the only people psychopathic enough to have ever used them. Twice. On civilian populations."
Have you ever noticed countries that DON'T have nuclear weapons get overrun by the USA in the last 20 years?
Disgusting. War is NEVER a solution. If they come to our shores, then we are obliged to meet them and push them back, but it is utterly WRONG to be the aggressor no matter what the circumstances.
We have such great technology, we've dumped billions of dollars into anti-missile technology, so I ask you: why do we need to murder North Korean citizens, whom are allegedly being starved by their leader? We have the technology to prevent any missile launched from hitting our shores. And if we DON'T have that technology, we need to demand the reimbursement of our funds, and the removal from office of any parasite that was involved in the proliferation of the broken weapons system.
War is NEVER the answer. EVER. It's a vile and odious suggestion to the contrary.
Great words but I disagree. War is sometimes necessary.
Ok, imagine this: you live in a world surrounded by communications technology. You can travel around the world in less than 24 hours. You can get your message to MILLIONS of people at the push of a button. Some of the people you share the planet with are orbiting the planet in an artificial ecosystem, and scientists are able to use quantum entanglement to INSTANTLY send information to other locations.
WHY Is war necessary? WHEN is war necessary? War is a failing of human character. We tell our children not to hit other children when they are trying to get their way. We encourage them to negotiate cooperate and share.
Why do we not demand the same of the "Adults" who run the country? They are usually FAR older than general population, I.E. they SHOULD KNOW BETTER than anyone how to effectively communicate.
Do you agree that it would be ok for Chinese troops to start flying over the US bombing your home? Killing your family? The US has violated international law multiple times, would that be justification for other countries to make war on the USA? We seem to think it's our moral impetus to attack other sovereign nations, so how long until someone decides to defend America's "Freedom" via a brutal, violent and malicious attack on your countrymen?
Under what circumstances WOULD you consider that to be their moral obligation? Under what conditions would you accept that China has the right to wage war on your homes, families and businesses?
I get what you are saying and I do agree it is a human failing. The things is we can't always control what other people do and sometimes action is necessary like WW 2. Sometimes you have crazy people or groups in charge of countries that you can't negotiate or reason with.
The US has become that country. When another country comes over and starts bombing the civilians around you will you say, "We were just unreasonable and didn't want to negotiate. China has every right to come over here, killing Americans, burning down our businesses and caging our children in "detention facilities."
Name 1 country that the US has put any SERIOUS effort into negotiating with. And then, find the history about those negotiations, but DO NOT just trust the newspapers and television. Find the official sources and documents and read them. Then ask yourself 3 questions: "Could we have done more? Could we have made a better effort? Did we even try?"
Yes good point. I'm well aware of how these things have happened before.
