From the U.K. here. All this talk about firing missiles into Russia, Tories and military leaders having debated conscription, article after article about the “China-Russia-Iran axis of evil”, and reckless WW3 speculations. WW3 over what, exactly?
Meanwhile, our tax money is going to kill Ukrainian men en masse, the White House wants Ukraine to conscript their 18 year olds, and we’ve helped create an apocalyptic wasteland in Gaza.
So what on earth are they talking about? It’s getting exhausting and feels artificial. I can’t take it seriously, from a moral standpoint.
I can’t take it seriously but it’s still anxiety-inducing because it just signals decay and depravity at the heart of our ruling class.
No, I will not prepare “mentally” for a war. No, I will not support bombing Russia. No, I will never volunteer to fight a war. No, I do not unconditionally stand with Israel at all times. And yes, if a politician does vote or advocate for war, then they should be enlisting themselves on the frontlines of that same war.
I’ve contacted my local politician giving my views on this. And they’re all puppets, repeating the same tired shitty pro-war narratives back to me. There’s nothing original, in fact they seem perfectly happy to continue escalating foreign wars if it means they get to maintain their official narrative.
These people are literally putting the security of the whole world on the line for their delusional and twisted war fantasies. “Democracy” my ar$e, nobody voted for our inept politicians to cosplay as Churchill.
There’s always billions of taxpayer money available for war against some bogeyman abroad. When was the last time we put ourselves on a war footing to end all our child poverty and homelessness? Thought not…
I love my country, but when it comes to politics, we are governed by sociopaths and establishment puppets. The worst part is they actually think the public is stupid enough to fall for their recycled propaganda lines.
