Heya Super Mo, perhaps only a brushstroke, but it’s a start, trust me I do see the big picture, cheers David

Wars in our world, now ceaseless & ubiquitous. Our President is striving to prevent an escalation into a third world war, which is inevitable in my thoughts. Grown men playing chicken. MAD mutually assured destruction (nuclear war). Clever & sober thoughts, David GL

MAD indeed Anaya, unfortunately this guy has no answers on how to stop them, especially when the layout of our world is taken into the equation, if I did I would say so, but would be delusional and irresponsible of me to pretend there is a solution, thanks so much, cheers David

War is a synonym for greed...eliminate the greed impulse in man and eliminate war. Of course, one will have their own opinion of this comment and that essential element (ego) in man can lead to competition (and exercise on "my self worth is challenged"; AKA: greed). Complicated 2 b sur. Pondering.

It’s certainly not black or white Arlo, that’s for sure, wealth, religion, and greed amongst a few, and then there’s the existential and defensive reasons for having huge stockpiles of weapons, in case of unprovoked attacks on nations, thanks so much, cheers David

And that would undoubtedly lead to a war. It's a vicious circle.

Heya Lin! if history is anything to go by, then unfortunately that is the reality of the situation, war is a vicious circle, can it be broken? look around us, this world speaks for itself, cheers David

I'm invested in thinking about this. Thank you.

Well put Dilly, I only try point out the obvious, no point in sidestepping the plain truth :)

It's terrifying that the heart of all things that can destroy us could be winning a fight. You speak the truth.

On the face of it Dilly, this one probably seems pretty negative, but the reality is, so many powerful people out there have huge vested interests in war, I’m just saying it as it is, cheers David
