It’s funny how the countries who go to war most are ‘democracies’…it’s almost as if ‘going to war’ is a vote winner.🤔
I guess it’s just a coincidence.
They wouldn’t sacrifice the lives of their own soldiers for an election, would they?
That’s impossible, surely?

The great thing about committing your country to war in a democracy is that even if you stuff it all up, and you never could have won, it’s likely going be blamed on the ‘other guys’.
Consider this:
GW Bush: Started two major wars, re-elected with an increased majority.
Obama: lots of ‘war’. Re-elected.
Trump: said he would stop war. Loses.
Biden: Ends war, loses popularity, but wants to start another to make up for it.
Your tax dollars at work!

In 2000, LNP behind on polls. But they go to war. And bully some defenceless people on a boat. Landslide!
2006: ‘War jar’ is empty. Things look ‘bad’. Decided to commit SAS to war. It’s not enough ‘war’. LNP lose
2013 ALP ‘ends war’: lose
LNP ever since ‘wars are us!’

If you think each election you are being manipulated by subconscious desire to ‘protect our country’ and help others, you are.
The most powerful weapon on today’s battlefield? Polling.
It’s why there will never be any ‘war crimes trials’
War is modern electioneering.

If you think about it explains a lot:
Starting wars that can never be won.
‘Heroes’ who look the part, but aren’t.
‘Villains’ who strangely never go to trial.
Once one war ends, another one just seems to pop up. In time for the election.
It’s enough to make you speak out
