You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.

Mr Bombastic

Wrong. The winner is the one who destroys the other guy. It may be costly in terms of life, but there is a winner. Ask the Japs and the Krauts who won WII.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed – and hence clamorous to be led to safety – by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

And most of that is from Obastard and Bush II, you idiot.

The new boss is the same as the old boss.

With the new sanctions on exports, coal, iron, lead and now textiles there are going to be a lot

more people without jobs. Keep in mind that NK is not a welfare state, these people are going to

be starving soon and watching their children starve, they know that, even if others don't.

The price of petroleum based products will skyrocket, black markets will thrive.

The real question is; will China and Russia violate the very sanctions that they have voted to impose?

sum

Taxation is theft; Conscription is slavery; War is murder.

And you are an abomination.

You know the US has become batshit insane today when:

The answer to endless wars is more wars.

The answer to the police state is more tyranny.

The answer to a dead economy is starting a trade war.

The answer to regulations is more laws.

The answer to endless debt is more debt.

Take you're awesome powers of observation to a country . One that would
better utilize them . Say North Korea or any number of African nations .

Why should the patriots leave? Why don't the traitors leave?

The first question to consider is the innocent people of North Korea; they are not the disturbed leader. And then South Korea. And then our Troops. And then the effect on the world. This is a madness statement. Freaking insane! Logic and reason, heart and soul, is missing. How much more evidence that "war is hell" do we need? Open a history book.

Or are such struggles a reality we just need to accept? The real world? Hey, your children and friends and others and you will most likely die, but our system won. Rejoice, if you still breathe.

Reading history, it is hard to see any real effort to avert armed conflict. No concerted "this is madness" approach to war. National pride, National needs, National greed, National defense, National economics--all command the insanity of a military response. Kill the innocent to either make a point or gain a point. Bizarre. Sick. Disgusting. Yet we continue in this debauchery as if calling a sports event. In the 18th and 19th Century of the British Empire, going to war was a rite of passage, how you became a man. It was de rigueur. Killing others in foreign lands for whatever reason was a social plum.

Christians insists that those dead from aerial bombings or whatever were not murdered but merely killed. "Stop whining, mothers, your children and friends and mate were not murdered but merely killed. Rejoice and be glad!" Insanity.

I prefer the most unfair peace to the most righteous war.

Bravo!

Too funny. You are batshit looney tunes. Seriously. "Feel all the gilt and shame you care to Sum?" What does that mean? Down the rabbit hole.
