War, what is it good for?

I think it should be restricted to the two protagonists, invariably men. They have to go one on one and settle it without needless bloodshed of soldiers and innocent civilians.
Zelenskyy would have taken Putin down, the latter may be a black belt but he’s old and apparently seriously underestimates his opponents.  |

The people who decide to have a war are usually as far away from the war as possible and also ensure their families are safe too.
If it was a rule that they and their families had to fight then you’d find there wouldn’t be many wars at all.

I am against war. But if another country has marched in to try to take over another, then the country attacked has every right to fight back and defend themselves.

"Nobody in their right mind wants war, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
So to show someone that war is wrong you have to fight?? "
No, you are not trying to show them war is wrong, you're showing them you will not give in to oppression/takeover by force of arms. Right or wrong is down to your own perception. |

lets see, putting aside morals.
War is good to control population, which also is good to control pollution, which is also good for the planet.
BUT, war is indiscriminate, war leaves the worst people to continue doing everything that is the problem whilst killing the ones who are the solution |

Poor and disadvantaged people fight other similar people to assist the rich to attain and retain power
And they are given medals to congratulate them for being enthusiastic cannon fodder.
Conscientious objection to war is the intelligent way to deal with conscription. |

Your posting is partially true, because Bonobos are not violent or aggressive; their social groups are dominated by a matriarch and crucially, they use sex recreationally and for preventing and settling disputes.
Chimpanzees are the most violent and engage in cannibalistic raids on other groups.
Gorillas are not really violent though males do fight to gain dominance and to retain their hierarchical position.
By a very long chalk, humans are the most violent and being highly intelligent use tools, that they manufacture to fulfil their aggressive proclivity.
We are a phenomenally destructive species, being the only primate which is capable to destroying the entire planet.

You hobestly think Trump created peace in the Middle East?! 
And if things reverted back after Trump left, he clearly didn't do a very good job. |

Almost every war has been funded by Rothchilds .. if your smart enough to follow what's happening and research .. you'll see almost every war America and uk have fought the banks have been taken by the Rothchilds after .. Iran iraq Afghanistan. Latest one was Syria .. gafaffi killed for being a hero like Ukrainian president.. only 6 countries left in the world not owned by them ,. Russia has the strong hold putin kicked them out years ago.. North Korea is another.. I'm not here for a debate .. these are facts .. facts facts facts |

Good for population reduction, I expect that's why the US installed zelensky to provoke Putin into action. America loves war they love invading other countries Iraq being just one. |

Hmmmm...
I've had a couple of decades involved in the war machine to think about this.
First, it provided me with a livelihood,a great pension,decent healthcare for me and my family.
Second, I've made a lot of friends.
Third,the experiences alone could fill multiple volumes.
Next,I work now to work for the fun of it, not because I have to. Although, our current pudding brained prez and admin has even I seriously considering another job to maintain my lifestyle. Or at the very least stock up on more weapons and ammunition.
Lastly, I would to like to see warfare settled by the immediate two aggressors.E.g.: Prez X Vs. Czar(Or whomever)X in a no holds barred cage match. Not young kids who can not even enjoy a damned beer.
The terrible thing about war is that it culls the youth,not the relics who initiate it all.

"There's no profit in peace
War is enormously expensive and often bankrupts the countries involved. Peace is far for conducive to capital growth."
Yes. "War is enormously expensive". Someone makes a shit tonne of money from war. It's not any nation. It's not your or I.
IE. There is a reason BAE, Lockheed, GDC, Boeing etc donate so much money to governments world wide.
The single purpose of war is profit. |

Nikolai Tesla offered us free power in the 1900's and he was found dead in his hotel.. we then paid for oil from the billionaire families until now .. now it's running out they are pushing global warming agenda to make us switch.. ever wondered why the earth had an ice age ? It wasn't pollution.. it's a natural cycle the earth and planets take in their orbit .. we're just consumers to the product when the time is ready for the sellers |

You managed to mention my former employer. B.A.E. Systems was an EXCELLENT place to work for. Loved every minute of it! We uparmored HMMWV's.
Now I work for one of their symbiotic bretheren, General Dynamics, Lima, Ohio.
Not sure of their bottom line but, they pay me well to build the worlds BEST tanks for the worlds BEST tankers.
I sleep well every damned night.

It’s just not true. No other animals have wars but humans and until around 9-12000 years ago humans didn’t have wars.

Against, but appreciate that sometimes when every eventuality has been explored without finding resolve, as a last resort in order to restore balance and to eradicate acts of evil - war is necessary...!
examples: WWI, WWII
and only a matter of time before we’ve WWIII (if global warning doesn’t have its way with us before that happens....)
so if we’re not already enjoying life, make a start to do so by spending more time doing the things in life that really matter - like spending more quality time with loved ones, acts of kindnesses, etc.
Having fun on fabs, making friends, finding time to have plenty of fun with plenty of action in getting wet and sticky  |

The only people that want a war are the arms manufacturers.
As people have already said, is seems war and conflict are a part of human life, it always has been and always will be in affraid. It is getting worse too as we fill the planet up with more of us. |

Spot on. Women as a whole are far more agreeable than men are.
It doesn't mean they are less likely to be corrupted like male leaders. Power will always corrupt humans, regardless of sex  |

Against war its a pointless waste of life that benifits only those in power who gain financially.
Thankfully people seem more educated on that fact so if one does kick off there would be far less eager to sign up like in ww1 or ww2 |

Lol, not sure how evolution is related to the profit made from war.
The simple fact is that all those arms manufacturers, supplies and equipment manufacturers make billions from war. Saying it's "nonsense" doesn't change that. |

Funny that I find just as many women driving aggressively these days.
I don't think I buy into the 'women are gentle by nature' argument.
Sociological bias I can agree with but that seems to be shifting. |

I see what you mean, but I think that is largely because modern thinking and social changes have eroded traditional and even basic human instincts and patterns of behaviour, although unfortunately they haven't similarly altered male behaviour much, it seems, except in some mainly negative ways! |

There are still plenty of dickhead blokes about for sure.
In terms of war I think perhaps it's maybe more of an issue as to how easily people can be manipulated. This was very apparent during the pandemic as people quickly changed their stance according to what was in the media rather than using their own common sense. |

Yes, I am not delusional and know that however physically altered one might be or however feminised, and however feminine one may feel, it is not the same as being a real woman, but it is strange how many little things I find myself seeing 'through women's eyes', especially in terms of male behaviour! |
