I Hate War

I served. It was near the end of the second world war, and I was required to - and I also felt it was my duty. And I think I did it well.

And I suppose I think that in those circumstances, it was necessary. But it was still horrible, it was still awful.

It's impractical I know, but I've often felt that any politician who is in a position to make a decision to go to war should have had to experience it. Only then can somebody decide it the price is worth it.

And even if it is. It's a hideous price. It can only be justified by the genuine risk of something worse.

Trump needs people to act as therapist for him
Trump is a warmonger because of the rich-kid abuse he suffered

He was deprived of real love. There wasn't much in that family to begin with...
So he wants to make war on the whole world (especially the parts perceived as most vulnerable...)

to punish it cause he feels so empty.

So if real people can do this work we might have a fighting chance to steer through this.

Then we have to install human beings into positions of power uncorrupted by money.

If we could install a humane economy FIRST that would be a big help.
