does anyone else wish for war?

[callmer]

Something to change the rotten status quo. I don't think the people are going to start a revolution anytime soon in the western world. I think the only way things are gonna change is if a war breaks out.

 

[pond]

No, thank you.

Unless it somehow results in a painless, not scary (because it happens without my realizing) death for me and no negative consequences for others.

 

[Misery99]

No, there's no winner in a war.

 

[starboy2k]

you're absolutely right about a revolution never happening here (especially to end the status quo)……but wishing for a war here is also batshit.

many will die, and the status quo will still remain.

 

[SweetChariot]

Honestly that's a line of thought i have pondered sometimes, as you said just to change the status quo but it really won't be a good time for anyone involved

Damn, people here seem to like Fight Club way too much. But seriously…
Well, World War III is already underway. Fucking north korea is shelling Kyiv, and they're also planning to send 50,000 soldiers to russia. I'm almost convinced they'll be used to attack the Baltic states this fall. They'll also create another migrant crisis on the border with Poland and Belarus, like they've done before. And China might attack Taiwan, because this is probably the perfect moment for it.Although I'm probably being a bit alarmist.
What other war do you want, dude?

You're ahead of me once again. I was just about to let OP know that if they want war, I have some great news for them.

(Amateur opinions formed from the analysis of people who are way smarter than me incoming:)

I wouldn't suggest that World War III will resemble either of its predecessors, since only a few of the major participants have the equipment or bodies to throw into the fray, including the United States, whose military apparatus has been almost completely exhausted by a few months of intermittent conflict with Iran. The Iranians have their own advanced ballistic missile program, of course, but it should be observed that cheap plastic drones have worked wonders for "democratizing" warfare all over the world.

Given how successful Iran has been at striking U.S. bases and the assets of American proxies to shockingly minimal resistance, I'm curious if Russia will eventually do the same in Europe.

China plays such an incomprehensible long-game that I suspect they're hoping to wait out American global hegemony and then subsume Taiwan politically, since there's already a robust opposition party in the latter that favors reconciliation.

My greatest fear in all of this is that the United States resorts to the use of tactical nuclear missiles in Iran, accomplishing nothing but killing thousands of people on their way off the world-stage and greenlighting everyone else to do the same in the scramble to fill the power void.

For some reason I'm getting deja vu, almost like there was a thread about this topic that I already saw a long time ago, either on this site or somewhere else, I'm not sure. I also feel like the replies were very similar with people saying NO!

I have mixed feelings about it. Me personally, I wish the greedy rich politicians waging these wars were actually willing to die in them instead of the random civilians who either get drafted or conned into enlisting doing it for them while the politicians who win get rich and wash the blood off their hands.

Like other people said, no one wins in wars, especially not the civilians who always get caught in the crossfire. Only way I would agree with the idea of a war is if it was the last war ever, and people got their heads out of their asses long enough to realize that people being dicks to each other needs to stop.

1. Start a new revolution
2. Another group of power-hungry people comes to power, as always
3. Repeat

I don't mind, just don't touch me pleaseee

 

[peacebenow]

No. Never.

 

[rainatthebusstop]

Eh. War is kind of a moot thing because things never truly get better after a war. Also everyone is scared of nuking each other even though it would fix all of their problems with that country in an instant.

 

[Hvergelmir]

does anyone else wish for war?

Not without a clear objective. Things are relatively free and prosperous, here.
War comes with instability, massacres, and starvation, that shouldn't be taken lightly. There has to be a very strong cause for me to resort to that.

There are wars I would support, but it sounds like you just want to widespread death and destruction, to shake things up and see what comes out of it.
What is your vision, when you think it through?
