Word are sometimes just words. I do not comment on the moral issue of what is reasonable force and what is ‘Defence’ and where it becomes ‘Offence’. How all this will look 25 years from now who knows. I won’t be around to find out. It is still the case wars even now are mostly economically of benefit to to those countries not directly involved as belligerents though this is lined is blurred in many cases. I am now 68 and as far as I can judge it has pretty much been the case that wars have been waged with very few pauses for most of my life in the Middle East, Asia and the Balkans with apologies for those that I have missed. Who ‘Pays’ for war?
Mostly the poor who have the least agency and usually suffer most inevitably. The first step is to be able to see the other. But we don’t.
It’s always a ‘they’ that are somehow, despicable or evil and this message is given to us by reasonable sounding men in suits.
Yet all wars tend to end the same way. men in suits predominately sitting at a table.
Perhaps we could just go straight to that point without the blood, death and destruction beforehand though that would be less profitable…
