“The crazy person who doesn’t want wars!” Because it isn’t about the extreme simplistic postulations of “do you want war or not” not the more nuanced (and frankly mature) discussion will we need to go to war, are we risking war by not showing strength now, up front (ie punch bully Putin, who has already “gotten away with taking Crimea without serious repercussions” and therefore he invaded Ukraine after he failed to install a puppet president/government like Belaruse.) There is no talk about human nature, behavior of people, nations, ideologies that motivate or bind people together, etc. It becomes either/or. “Either you are for ‘US’ or you’re against us.” What if WE want to do what is best for most of us (Americans & Human beings?) The problem is a lack of shared “facts/truth”, objective reality, maturity, nuanced conversations, effective communication, logic, reason, and most especially trust, on any level really. Zero trust. And we need a certain level of mutual trust to work, live, get along, and make our “collective” democracy work.
