Lets translate your question. What exactly is your solution to the sort of [war] by Hitler in [war]. Is war not a solution to [war]?

  Yep. I know what you meant to do here, and I still agree. You do not get to choose whether someone else is violent or not. If you aren't prepared for violence, you can only be a victim of it.

    I guess you appreciate any opportunity to restate your beliefs. I was just suggesting that offering war as a solution to the problem of already being at war is pretty circular.

      I appreciate an opportunity to provide clarity when it seems like a point was missed. Whether it's circular or not isn't a meaningful property when bombs are dropping. In that spirit of providing clarity: what is your answer to the un-translated question I asked? > What exactly is your solution to the sort of naked aggression by Hitler in WW2? Is war not a solution to that problem?

        > What exactly is your solution to the sort of naked aggression by Hitler in WW2? Is war not a solution to that problem? With a 70–85 million death toll, I find it hard to describe it as a success. Saying there was no other choice seems fair but calling it a solution seems a bit far-fetched.

          War stopped Hitler's germany. That's a solution.

  No, those things are not synonymous.
