Why, knowing what we all know about wars and the like are we even contemplating this? Sure have a defence policy and decide what you want to do and then do it but, whoa big fella (that's our PM) why are you being the big kid and talking up feet on the ground and all that good stuff. Didn't we used to have United Nations troops for this sort of thing? You know, neutrals not NATOs? Maybe I'm being simplistic here but all most of our European countries have done is fight a proxy war with the lives of another country and prolonged the agony and consequences of that war. Likely a generation of men and women wiped out too.
Politicians talking it all up, spending trillions they haven't got to pursue something that only bankers and big business profit from and none of the lessons have been learned from previous conflicts where nobody wins.
It's disturbing that they aren't even coming from a position of strength and heavily rely on the US who rightly ask why they should protect Europe, what's the point? They've been posted over here for 80 years. We have run down our services, introduced wokeness and we just don't have the numbers and the capability anymore.
This little speck of a planet 4.5 Billion years in the making, hardly visible in the solar system let alone the universe and apparently blessed with life everywhere, still seeks to destroy itself and not operate for the good of man, the dominant species on the planet. We argue over God (which is like arguing over who has the best imaginary friend) and if we don't get our way justify the killing of others in pursuit of a peaceful religion and because it will further our cause.
It's all futile, infantile and serves not to advance our innate goodness but to self limit ourselves and drag us back down to the primordial depths from whence we evolved. The standards of living and health and many progressive impacts of abundant cheap energy have rapidly advanced us so that we live longer, healthier lives, the poor are being lifted out of poverty and the impacts of natural disasters are mitigated through progressive increases in wealth but once again our politicians wrestle defeat from the jaws of victory, if they aren't proposing war, they are taxing the very things that have brought us this far.
Maybe we will all wake up together and stop this? Maybe it will just fail of its own accord? Whatever happens I wish these idiots proposing war and of course not having to feel the consequences themselves would wake up and limit their ambitions to get us all killed.
