Why war exists
History tells us in grim details about wars.It's brutal, vicious and costly. So why do we, humans keep going into this deadly and menacing venture?
Is it because it's easier to kill each other than building peace?
Ah but then, without war, how can these deadly weapons be used?
How can population be in check?
How can the powerful acquire new territories?
Note: this blog isn't about politics, it's simply an analysis as to why war had been in existence for as long as humanity has.
Propaganda or not, war is real.

I ask myself, why? I mean, why is that? Killing is a sport then? Those days, I'm sure there were no political leaders that decide when to start a war.
Anyways just bored and maybe there a good discussion from this question.
We had to fight for food, for our land, to protect ourselves.
Then many wars were for religion, because we didn't agree with each other.
And now it's all about power and money.
We haven't really evolved since the cavemen, have we?
GREED MONEY AND POWER
It's been that way since the beginning of time.

Thanks dear lady of reason.

I just wanted to know what's his motivation on this one.
"We spending so much time building tools for destruction than peace"
I think like we're still the same animals driven by fear and its just got more complicated than from our cavemen existence.
Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
“The Roots of War,”
Men who are free to produce, have no incentive to loot; they have nothing to gain from war and a great deal to lose. Ideologically, the principle of individual rights does not permit a man to seek his own livelihood at the point of a gun, inside or outside his country. Economically, wars cost money; in a free economy, where wealth is privately owned, the costs of war come out of the income of private citizens—there is no overblown public treasury to hide that fact—and a citizen cannot hope to recoup his own financial losses (such as taxes or business dislocations or property destruction) by winning the war. Thus his own economic interests are on the side of peace."
Still reading the whole thing C
Thank you for sharing all these valuable information.
John Galt comes to mind.
We should all read and uphold his principles.

Yes, we're hardwired to fight because of different beliefs.
What the heck is that about?
What the heck is that about?
What is NATO doing close to Russian borders?
How about Mexican president hand out Mexico to Russia?
Would US be OK with that?
Let's bring Chinese troops to Canada , you are fine with it?

Nor can I see how Chinese troops marching to Canada has any relevance to our interests. Remember US has bo plans on expansion nor be leary about clandestine activities.
If anything why would Canada let Chinese come in the first place?
I see your point though. What you didn't factor is the fact that Russia ia holding the cards for expansion. We don't. Russia is clever in not wanting to be monitored. We don't.
By the way, now that you mentioned it, Chinese are watching so closely that if it's ok for Russia to grab Ukraine then it's OKAY FOR CHINA TO GRAB Taiwan.

China will take Taiwan or any other countries as it always did, Nepal, Mongolia among others.
Don't forget it built its citadel in Spratley Island amidst US warning since that Island supposedly belongs to the Philippines.
Now I'd be more inclined to believe, it would in a heartbeat, subdue Taiwan.
