Right, because a West that turns countries into 'a burning piece of ashes' at the slightest risk to its own dominance is so strong, wonderful and worth defending - after all, we'd never be so irresponsible as to use our own legally-obtained, internationally-sanctioned destructive might to kill a lot of people.

Oh.
Wait.

With some cargo ships, Turkey will soon have the ultimate weapon on their hands. We're through the looking glass, people.

Cargo Ships? Heck I wouldn't put it past them to build a submarine to deliver them. They have experience driving subs and they have the shipyard that can build them.

Then we're all dead already. I'll be taking my razor and headed to my bathtub. Remember me as a peacemaker.

Oh come on, we all know that politics were never based on morality or ethics

Personally, I am waiting for the moment when politicians finally have the guts to say it out loud. When war can finally be defined correctly as "enforcing our political will on our enemies" and not the "restoring peace and balance" crap

The enemy or contradicting interests is the key.

Sometimes is for good or bad (bad choices or interests)but overall that is what allows us to live relatively comfortable life while babbling about it.

At the end some of the politicians are chosen to act in the best of interests of your countries.
Not saying that all of them necessary act with those standards but you know...the views may vary.

We are far away yet from being one big happy world community.
