Watching the tragedy of this brutal senseless war between Russia and the global oligarchs should be enough to turn anybody into a pacifist.
I am unfortunately very dense. It took me a long time figure out that we weren’t winning our wars.
I have watched wars from Vietnam to our current debacle in the Middle East. I have always supported these not-really-wars, thinking that was the same as supporting the troops. .
Our troops have always fought well, but the conflicts have never turned out well (were Panama and Grenada exceptions?). The conflicts were lost, not on the battlefield, but in government offices.
I love our troops too much to keep sending them on futile errands. I won’t support any further ‘wars’ until we change our ways and go after enemies the intent to annihilate them. I certainly won’t support any more wars under our current leadership or on behalf of the UK or the Euroweenies.
