Those who want peaceful solutions, those who would beat their swords into plowshares... End up plowing the fields of those who don’t.
How many times do we need to learn that non-violence NEVER over comes outright violence?
Once we have abandoned negotiation and reason, there can only BE a violent resolution. While we should never INITIATE force against another person or polity... We should always be willing and able to deliver massive and absolutely unmitigated retaliatory force.
Just about my entire life I have tried to tell people that “VIOLENCE HAS SOLVED MORE PROBLEMS THAN ANY OTHER EFFORT ON THE PART OF HUMANITY”.
It is a tool that can be used for both good and bad!
The choice is always ours.
