The military knows how to wage war, and I respect that. But those who know how to wage peace should be given equal respect - and equal funding. Then we will be able to save the world.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Allocating money into international (& even domestic) “public diplomacy” through grassroots cultural and linguistic exchange programs will play a large role in waging peace. Japan & Germany do this well. It’s a #WaronWar #BuildBridgesNotBombs

You realize you voted for Biden/Harris? Which means you voted for eternal "interventionist" war that will continue to destroy lives, communities and entire regions around the globe for as long as they are in power. All funded by eternally more bloated military budgets.

The Middle East deals that are happening now with the Trump administration are huge!

It’s not just that. China hasn’t entered a war since 1979. The US has entered 40 or 140 depending on who you ask, in that time. China spends about a 1/3 on defense compared to the US. $$For-profit$$ wars is a willful economic policy in the US that does massive harm worldwide.

As long as there is profit in war, there will never be peace

Stealing elections is not waging peace.

I think what’s also important is that people should be able to say when a war is done and not make it endless. Hell, a lot of wars shouldn’t have happened to begin with.
