Cold War 2?
Does war ever end? Can we count a war as over? Or should we just look at all of history as one long war?

When you adult human beings stop warring with one another, then war will be over.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2024 12:43 pm Does war ever end? Can we count a war as over? Or should we just look at all of history as one long war?
What is needed for war to be over, and finished, once and for all, is a 'self-governing' society. Which is a society that is not 'led' by only some.

I'm not warring with anyone. I assume you're referring to some other adult human beings perhaps?Age wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2024 1:23 pmWhen you adult human beings stop warring with one another, then war will be over.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2024 12:43 pm Does war ever end?

Once 'all' of you adult human beings stop warring, with one another, then war ends, and thus you count on war as over.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2024 1:28 pmI'm not warring with anyone.

War. War never changes...

In nature, there is continually a war for hunting rights, mating rights, territorial rights, and so on. That is where you can find the origins of human war.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2024 12:43 pm Does war ever end? Can we count a war as over?

A single leadership would be a disaster.
The various multipolar leaderships keep each other in check. It allows you to go where you are treated best. At the moment, I definitely prefer Chinese or Russian to American leadership. The West interferes too much in people's private lives and is too greedy in collecting taxes. Seriously, we need an alternative. The Russians and the Chinese are doing a great job in that respect.
To prevent the multiple geopolitical poles from adopting each other's mistakes and enforcing their misguided views onto everybody else, they must be continuously at war. The war in Ukraine is the price that the world (and especially the Ukranians) pay for restricting American influence. It is a costly technique to achieve this goal, but it works. The world is rapidly de-dollarizing now, which is another good thing. None of the geopolitical poles should have too much power. That is why they must keep blowing each other's legs off. That is a hard and incontrovertible requirement. Maintaining peace and freedom always costs a lot of dead bodies.

I'd say look at war in history as one long PSYOP. For example, Climate Change.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2024 12:43 pm Does war ever end? Can we count a war as over? Or should we just look at all of history as one long war?

Climate Change, the rest of the story …
A Looming Political Earthquake
https://www.city-journal.org/article/th ... earthquake
But the oversight scandal at the World Bank is chump change compared with the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its massive planned “climate finance” program. The misnamed IRA is, in the words of its advocates, the “largest climate policy in US history.” [emphasis added] The law’s ambitions dwarf those of the World Bank. By various estimates, the IRA will lead to some $3 trillion in direct spending on grants, subsidies, and the like, plus another $3 trillion in related spending induced by mandates and rules. For perspective, that’s far more than the cost of Obamacare, and even more than the $4 trillion the U.S. spent (inflation adjusted) to fight World War II.

Uproar at U.N. Climate Summit
https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2 ... ot-enough/
“A draft text released Friday from the environmental negotiators at the U.N.’s COP29 climate alarmism summit would demand that wealthy nations commit to gifting poorer countries $250 billion a year between now and 2035.
“Climate activists responded to the proposed contribution with outrage, claiming the sum is ‘paltry’ and 'a joke.”’
Comment: $250 billion just ain’t what it used to be. There are more usual suspects getting their taste, and inflation makes it more difficult to make ends meet.
