This retired lieutenant commander agrees with you.

A war would hurt lots of people, so I can't wish that. But one thing a war would bring is the toppling of our governmental system, and that I can only welcome.

Americans already lost the war a long time ago.

They have been poisoned by the medical/military/ag industrial complex for 7 decades. (My late husband and mother are two of the victims.) My grandparents raised my mother a mile downstream from what is one of the most polluted military bases (Griffiss). Good thing she had me at 20 because she wouldn’t have had any kids after age 25.

Covid vaccines are just getting the final solution 4 decades later to what was started long ago. And the list of misfits you rattle off are the victims too.

When “nations” fight, only the people lose. When you have societies larger than a few hundred, psychopaths rise to the top like turfs in a toilet bowl. In a society of billions, it’s much worse.

This is the logical endpoint of a degree of centralized power the human race has never seen.

At least I’m close enough to DC that I might get completely wiped off the map if it does happen. Not sure I’d want to live in the places “in between.”
