I think that war is diplomacy by other means, for sure, and there have been wars that have been fought for righteous reasons. There are wars that have had to be fought, and there will probably continue to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Now, I believe that war is never inevitable until it starts, but there has been a great proclivity in human history, and including in recent history, for war.
Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.
War is the continuation of politics by other means.
I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.
War is an arena for the display of courage and virtue. Or war is politics by other means. War is a quasi-mystical experience where you get in touch with the real. There are millions of narratives we impose to try to make sense of war.
War is something of man's own fostering, and if all mankind renounces it, then it is no longer there.
I believe - though I may be wrong, because I'm no expert - that this war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil.
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.
Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.
