Well, as unfortunate as it may seem, our species is always looking for conflict of some kind. There's always one reason or another... But to be completely honest... Mostly every armed conflict nowadays is oriented around money.
In the late nineties NATO had to interfere with the local conflict here, they ended up bombing some buildings and the like. Some stuff landed on military targets and most of it on civilian buildings... A great deal of it in a province which was for the most part free of enemies...
They called in ahead where they were going to bomb.. They used up a lot of their old munitions and so they had room and a reason to make more...
What Russia is doing in Ukraine is... Well essentially the same. If they really wanted to, they could have easily taken the country... But that was never their real objective.
Through history there are wars, some bigger and bigger still, some inconsequential in comparison, but it's a fact that our species wants these conflicts... And apparently we need them.
I don't know whether it's in our nature and can't be helped, or if it's just some cruel manipulation of some unseen force... But there it is.
Naturally I agree that we should do everything possible to avoid wars, especially now with nuclear weapons in the picture.
Thank you for sharing with us.

In the end, those skills are just that. How one uses them and what for is what counts.. I think.

I absolutely agree with the statements in your poetry, friend. We have to stand together and do more then just speak. Beautiful words and a striking message
