Actually us hippies still believe in Make Love not War.
However if you get in a war, the worst thing you can do is drag it out by incrementalism. Biden missed the window to not have this war, and now he’s done the worst thing you can do, which is bleed a country ( Ukraine) to death while fighting a “proxy” war. If you have access to outside the US media you will read that the Russians believe that they are at war with NATO and the US. Spin it how you will, but that’s the way the Russians are spinning it domestically. I have a long time democrat friend who actually believes that if the Russians us a nuke in Ukraine, we will use one back and that will be the end of the nuclear aspect of the war. What an idiot. There was a game in the 80’s called nuclear escalation. The game usually ended the round after the first nuke was used. Everyone in the game goes into use em or lose em mode and launches everything.
Its obvious, isn't it? I have no doubt the real planners in DC also believe the exact same thing.
