Why do people love war?

[Akam93]

Like what are you solving. Especially politician's.

[ProbablyClueless]

Pretty much just boils down to making a lot of money doing truly horrible things.

I assume that's the appeal of the Ukraine conflict for Biden; they've committed to giving enough resource to hold Russia enough but not enough to win, so they can prolong the conflict indefinitely with someone else's boys.

[Squatting_Slav]

It's all for power money and greed.

[Akam93]

I agree.

[dynamicyandere]

They pretty much want money, power, and influence.


By any means necessary.


And war is a means to that end.


People can also gain money, power, and influence by things like diplomacy, trade, and innovation — but sometimes starting a war is faster and it creates unique and lucrative opportunities for exploitation.


In the context of unprovoked offense, it’s choosing to play dirty.


It’s not the only way to “play” the game of life.


Alternatively, we can all prosper if we choose to cooperate, work together, respect each other and live by a code of honor.


But, but there are always those who choose to step on the throats of others to get ahead.


And when one player does that, it forces the other players to defend.


Saying, “Please stop. This isn’t right.” Is not going to stop an opposing country from dropping bombs on your unarmed civilians.

So, force must be stopped by force.

War is an ugly thing.

Those who start wars, instead of choosing a more diplomatic route, are playing dirty to get what they want, by any means necessary.

I asked a similar question here on GAG about a month ago, and the responses to it were very surprising. People accused me of being naive, because it was a "part of human nature to be violent" and that we therefore couldn't do anything about it, and other equally stupid comments.

Yes, many people DO love war. As an example of this, just look at all the Hollywood films that have been made over the decades promoting and celebrating it. Just look at our mainstream media, and the way it constantly pushes for "intervention" here, there and everywhere! It's disgusting, and people are SO blind that they can't even suspect they're being manipulated into being belligerent.

[strateguy632]

the opposite Hollywood wars are necessity, evil needs a response, not celebrate, nor all wars.

[ScienceThumper]

Hollywood is mind control I don't think we need a lesson about it. Just like the infinite masonic symbolism isn't happening spontaneously.

[ScienceThumper]

The rulers of the world brainwash everyone not just with "survival of the fittest" but fearn and egoism beyond where people stab others when it's not necessary to get by. The same fuckers sponsor wars on both sides to keep this pyramid structure, which they need to sit on top of because they're addicted to power. When there's peace there is no power over others.

[strateguy632]

people DON'T love war. but people love justice.

when russia invaded ukraine they claimed they fighting evil nazi.

when ukraine fought , it was self defense but you want pacifism, "don't shoot back! let russia steal the land unstopped." war is evil so let whoever attacks win?

[Jessica405]

No one even likes war. It is a necesssary evil. While we have terrorist organisations in the world, we have no choice. No one can negotiate peace with them. The only thing they understand is a missile hitting them.

[Siri137]

People like you are the problem, and the evidence for this is the language you're using to make your case here. "Necessary evil" (no, it's just evil), "terrorists" (define the term), "we have no choice" (we ALWAYS have a choice), "no one can negotiate with them" (an outright lie), and the last sentence is straight from the Pentagon or John Bolton.

[strateguy632]

@Siri137 oh terrorist means use terrorist method like abducting civilians, bombing busses. hamas does not want a "2 state solution" in israel so cannot negotiate with terrorist and shouldn't negotiate with those who abducted unarmed civilians.

[Jessica405]

@Siri137 I stick by what I said. Wait until they come knocking on your door. See how you feel then!!

[Siri137]

An appeal to emotion. That doesn't work with me. I prefer facts and logic.

[Jessica405]

@Siri137 OK! So our gas and electricity bills have gone up. Our fuel bill for our car has gone up. Facts.

[Jessica405]

What is your answer to the two ships, in the Red Sea, being hit by missiles from Yemen? What is your answer to the ship being hijacked by Iran?

Ignore them?

You may get a good supply of goods in Australia, from the far east, but much of Europe's trade comes through the Red Sea and Suez. Our costs in Europe, and certainly in UK, are going to rise sharply. My grandparents remember the Suez crisis of the 1950's and the petrol rationing.

I guess you want us to sit back and take it, regerdless of escalation of aggression.

[Snakeyes7]

It's all for power expansion. Faction A wants the resources of Faction B so A attacks B while B defends itself.

[exitseven]

Just the people making all the money love it. The kids getting body parts blown off don't like it much.

[Anonymous]

Banks want democracy as politicians are easier ton control this way. The banks enforce it. The oil companies want natural resources privatised.

[FunkyMonkee]

It makes them rich.

[milyjohn]

No wars under Trump, and now three wars under Joey the clown.

[FunkyMonkee]

@milyjohn You got it, babe! How many more will that assfuck get us into before the year is out?

[strateguy632]

@milyjohn good come back statement. i mean it!

[milyjohn]

If it goes beyond three (China) The fat lady has sang.

[milyjohn]

@strateguy632

Thanks.

The hunger for power and taking over resources...

No one loves war.
