are we there yet
War, the ultimate sin of man, and yet still an integral part of our civilization.
why the word is so small and yet can give birth to endless answers and edicts and statements all designed to convince rather than to explain.
so let us examine the why of this most horrendous act of sentient creation.
War is the basis of most economies, and if I read the signs arright we are headed towards what may be the last war of this world. Not because we are to be destroyed but because this will be the war where one of the global powers stamps it's form of rule across a one world government.
This perhaps is the most likely reason why war is still a constant guest among us supposedly civilized creatures. We cannot stand that there is someone else doing something we ourselves would never do, also we rely upon one another for certain economic niceties thus we have no choice but to have a certain amount of interaction. This has of course been the way of the world since the ancient days of our forefathers, but then war was not like it is today with the use of such terrible weapons that can and could wipe the entire species off the face of this beautiful mother.
However war was inhumane in a different manner in the before time, thousands upon thousands died and genocide was still possible but it was easier to run and methods of slaughter where not so globally destructive ad they are today.

What we have now is the world rapidly drawing battle lines and most people in the western world don't even want to acknowledge this fact, I would guess that in this new War Russia, China and North Korea will be allied and lined against them will be the old allies as usual, however this war if fought with small arms would most likely be kicked off much as world war 1 was done through a series of alliances rather than a direct attack upon the west, Ukraine and Tiewan would most likely be the targets that would be used to encite the allied forces to action, however this act in and of itself may alienate certain countries that feel if is of no concern of theirs what happens, this in turn will gain those lined up against the west with unannounced allies that feel more in sympathy with the Republic of China and the Russian federation. Due to the Japanese ties to Tiewan and the United States ties to Japan that will leave little room for the west to do anything other than aid their allies while the Russian move on Ukraine will leave the same alternatives for other countries. In effect bringing the entire world to conflict.
I do not know how I personally feel about this. Right is right regardless of what others think but unfortunatly we here in the United States are constantly bombarded with propoganda designed to fill us with fear and leave us terrified of those who we should be trying to help and grow with. So my eyes are less than sure of what they are shown.
If war does errupt I fear for the west. Unless the country of India should choose to aid us in our struggle we would surely be lost.
