‘I’m permanently pissed off’
I read this article, next to it was an ad for another article with a title asking why the US doesn’t negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. It is disappointing to constantly read that people prefer immediate, temporary peace over the victory of established states against aggression, violence and barbarism.
What do you think would happen next if a peace deal was established with a victorious Russia and Hamas? Really, what does that world look like to you?
To me, it looks like it is in each countries, terrorist group’s or individual’s interest to be as aggressive as possible because no one will stop them in the pursuit of an illusory ‘peace’, until the next unopposed aggression starts. It looks like a world of constant war, where darkness has covered humanity.
The fight for civilization is not immoral.
