Who’s wrong? Who’s right? Does it matter, if the outcome is thousands losing their lives yet again!!???
Call me a naive pacifist, but seriously??? This madness needs sorting!
Nobody has a divine right to any land on earth! We are all here temporarily!
I personally do not care who’s right or wrong, can we not just avoid another mindless conflict???
The countries who own strips of land that aren’t anywhere near their territory – you look at where Alaska is to mainland USA and you wonder what the deal is? but fine; they paid for it, it is what it is. You look at the various British Overseas territories and you say, ok, they used to rule those parts of the world and if those folk are ok with remaining part of Britain, fine. There are 25 million or so people in Taiwan and they are happy with how they are; can we not stop the sabre-rattling? Don’t arm them, don’t threaten them! Can both sides just please leave them be?? Please!
China can continue assuming they are still part of China and theUS and others can continue assuming they are a sovereign state and not part of China. And we all just leave them (Taiwan) to continue living their lives as the have. Nobody wins from this tug of war!
Hopefully, one day we find another planet that is habitable and if we can’t learn to live together in peace here on earth, perhaps some folk can relocate over there?
It is madness really! The world needs a much stronger organisation than the present “United Nations”. Yes, you can’t police the world. And if you do, who polices that police? However, perhaps a stronger organisation that drives ZERO tolerance to wars? Perhaps a fresh charter where every country on earth agree that regardless of the situation, war must not be an option? I don’t have the answers, but humanity needs an urgent rethink. This is becoming absolutely farcical!
Knowledge can improve the world we live in
