War...war never changes

After thousands of years of fighting and power grabs, one would think that humans would have run out of things to fight about. But no. over the last ten years geopolitical tension has risen massively, USA-Russian relations are the world in decades, and we are entrenched in a never-ending quagmire of "conflict" in the middle east. As always, war is displacing millions, causing migrant crisis all over Europe. Is it worth it?

No.

War always leaves many lives far worse than improved. With infrastructure and homes destroyed, the stage of war is often left completely destroyed. And in recent times, war has grown increasingly useless.

look at the last ten years, when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, we claimed they had weapons of mass destruction. After we found out that that wasn't true, we said that it was to plant the "seed" of democracy in the middle east. But nothing grows on land that has been salted as the romans did to Carthage. whats let in the areas we razed is the Islamic State, a radical Islamic group fed with the hate of America. Yet we created, they are our unintentional creation. War never brings what you expect. World war one led to world war two, world war two led to the cold war. The only time war is appropriate is when it is an absolute last resort, for you while you may achieve what you set out for, you will most certainly bring unintended consequences.
