    It makes me sad that they’re having to conscript the youth of Ukraine. What if it was my kid? What if it was me?

    I hope they can end this fast!

        What an interesting thing to say. Why would you think that I’m not?

          Some people think in simple binaries, and lump people into groups based on who they believe holds a certain view.

          Say anything negative about Israel, you must be pro-Hamas.

          Say anything negative about Biden, you must be pro-Trump.

          Say anything ‘negative’ about Ukraine (even something as simple as that Ukraine’s youth being conscripted and dying is horrible), you must be pro-Russia.

      The military-industrial complexes always have something to gain in wars (provided they manage to adapt in time). But there’s no other alternative industry that can supply the needed hardware to win a war, when an invasion happens. It just seems that’s all what our species can do best: kicking each other, then having a rest for a few dozen years and starting over.

        I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you trying to say that it being pro-war is a necessary evil? Are you assuming that the world would be less better off without powerful and breathtakingly enriched entities that thrive on war?

        I’m not saying I have all the answers but I don’t think I have to have all the answers to be against war or to be against the military industrial complex. Maybe that’s just me. 😁
