When I was a kid, I was invited to a middle school dance by a girl in my neighborhood. I wasn’t into her, but I said yes to be nice. Took her to get food, then to the dance. It was at her school, so I didn’t know ANYONE there. Got there, asked her to dance, and in her exuberance, she accidentally bumped behinds with another girl dancing nearby. Well, you would’ve thought that my date had snatched her weave and spat in her face with how this girl reacted. She started yelling, pushing my date, and eventually called over a group of guys to beat me up. Suddenly I’m surrounded by 5 guys all at least a head taller than me. I’m still proud of my response.
I started talking to the lead guy, who was towering over me, told him we were dancing, that my date accidentally bumped his date. I said “I’m not mad, you’re not mad, we’ve never even seen each other before. These two women we’re with? THEY’RE the ones who are mad. They want somebody to fight, so let THEM do it! I don’t give a shit about any of this!”
He looked at me, looked at his girl (who was now much quieter), nodded his head, and walked off.
I react similarly to wars my country’s government starts. “Oh, you guys are big mad and want somebody to fight them? Ok, here’s a weapon, have at it!”
Yeah it’s wild, but thankfully this thread told me we don’t need an army any more, so I have to assume they’ve stopped being murderous dictators. Life is great happy happy happy
Good! Put “the world leaders” in a Thunderdome arena and let them fight it out. Why should anyone else fight their petty squabbles?

Oops. Putin/Xi/Kim won. Now what?
Kill them anyway
Yeah, I bet.
Just walk up to them and kill them, you don’t need an army to do it…
That’s crazy how all of those people are alive today simply because no one wants to kill them.

Ignore him.
Sure
