It feel like a bad unreal dream. I am honestly concerned and scared.

    It’s strange, or? Where we normal people are trying to get on with our lives, our government decides to wage war with some other country, where normal people are also just trying to get on with their lives.

    No one wants war, besides people selling missiles, bombs, tanks, guns, etc

      As part of the constitution that was imposed on them when the US rebooted their government following WWII, Japan can’t activate its military except in self defense.

      Their politicians have been complaining about that and trying to get rid of it for decades now, but in my opinion every country should have such a provision. Any sane politician claims they wouldn’t use the military unless someone else attacked first, so why give them the option at all?

      There are far more that want war. Even people that would have nothing to gain but everything to lose from a war.

        Send them to the front and let the problem solve itself.

        The issue lies with where the sentiment comes from. Most of the time it originates from politicians who, unable to solve local problems, choose to demonize a part of society or another country in order to get away with their failures and the riches/power this enables them to grab.
