Politicians don't make everything happen, the people also make a difference. Would a country consisting only of women attack another country? Only the most militant countries have significant numbers of women among their fighting forces. I just read of a very nervous French woman on a plane, asked to hold the hand of the person next to her who happened to be English and the woman on the other side also offered her hand, and she was Arabic. To me this seemed odd because the English and French had been colonial powers in the Arab world, but in the world of women that didn't matter at all; One was in need so all would help her.
In the male dominated world we are in, one thing has surprised me every time it has happened. The ease with which a country goes to war, for no obvious reason at all. Five weeks into the 'hot' stage of the war in Ukraine a peace arrangement had been agreed upon, but just the objections of the British and the Americans were considered enough to veto the peace agreement. The Ukrainians didn't want the war and the Russians were only there to stop NATO from placing nuclear armed missiles up real close to them.
And the extent of the war. Hundreds of thousands of fit young Ukrainian men were press ganged to the front to probable death or disability, in a war they had no hope of winning. Almost two years on they are still dying. 500,000 dead and almost as many with severe permanent disabilities. Most of them didn't volunteer, maybe the neo-Nazis did, those in the right sector or Azov battalion, but I don't think most wanted to get chewed up by shrapnel. Can't anybody say 'NO', can't everybody say 'NO'.
that hot-headed Joe Biden wants a war with Iran and Yemen and China as well as the proxy war with Russia.
Biden wants war with Iran and its proxies... Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas and more. Biden wants war thith Russia too. China is standing by with bated breath to take over when the dust settles.
The US accepts the one-China policy that Taiwan is part of mainland China. I think Biden is going to have to keep his war going in Ukraine to keep money flowing to the weapons makers, and perhaps start a war in Africa or Central or South America, ... because nothing frightens Neo-cons like not having a war.
