Peace, anybody?

Peace doesn’t seem to be popular anymore! The U.S., that’s us, has been in permanent war for decades and some of the leaders want to go to more war in Iran and all over the world.

Some of the people are worried about other nations, principally Russia, influencing our election. All nations try to do this. Our government invades and corrupts other nations all over the world. Hypocrisy?

Are we still bombing to bring about peace like in Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and all the past places? Our Gen. Le May said “If you kill enough of then they will stop fighting.” Is that the way to go?

The latest country to feel the wrath of the U.S. is Venezuela that has our oil under their ground! Applying economic sanctions is an act of war and the U.S. has done that often! Japan knew that years ago.

All this involvement has led to massive refugeeism and tremendous loss of life such as in Yemen.

Almost none of our politicians object to this warlike behavior on the part of the U.S.

Where are the peace makers? Has the pope become the Lone Ranger?

This is a finite planet with diminishing finite resources and 7.5 billion people. This is not sustainable. Knowledge is the only unlimited and expanding resource.
