How do we put an end to wars that are destroying our world? Why do we (anyone) continue to think war = peace?

War is the tool the wealthy and powerful use to maintain and expand their wealth and power. Divide and conquer.

Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

We could all stop kissing the feet of the troops, for a start.

Yes. We can stop telling the troops they're not responsible for where they go or what they are ordered to do, as it's abject bull**** and insults them as human beings.

Lets see, since warfare has been with humans since day one the easiest way to do away with warfare is kill every man, woman and child on the face of the Earth....

Easy and guaranteed to eliminate all wars and warfare

Other than the above there is no way to stop wars because someone, somewhere will want what you have or the land you live on or not like you and your ilk....

LMAO, I want peace and if I have to kill you to get it, so be it........
