(3,172 posts)I don't think we know how to "do" peace.
I'm sure someone somewhere is whining that peace would destroy umpty-millions of jobs in the MIC and the armed forces. There aren't enough jobs to go round now, with peace there'd be even more out of work.
Is *ANYONE* planning for peace?
What do do with all that
Waste hardware (planes, ships, trucks, tanks, etc etc)?
Waste munitions?
Unnecessary skills?
Polluted factories?
Polluted storage depots?
How do we re-employ millions of people whose jobs today consist of planning to murder people??

Every peaceful option first, but be ready to kick some ass if it comes to it.
