The last sentence is an oxymoron. How would there be peace if you go to war?
- llampx 5y agoCurrent war for future peace.
- cute_boi 5y agoI don't think so. Middle east war, Afghan war never brought any peace. Instead it backfired. So, I really don't like such platitudes.
- llampx 5y agoI agree in a way, but I also think that in avoiding conflict, it is possible to see yourself pushed back into a corner to where a bigger conflict becomes necessary.
- Glawen 5y agoIt is a old Roman adage "Si vis pacem, para bellum" which held true for centuries
- nickpp 5y agoI didn’t say "go to war", I said "be willing to go to war". That makes the whole difference.
- philistine 5y agoThat's some Peacemaker stuff there. "I love peace, and I'd kill any amount of men, women and children to get it."
