AIBU to not want to go to war

[TemporaryPosition]

It's expensive and it hurts and it helps nothing, it just puts innocent sons, brothers, fathers, uncles and friends through the meat grinder. The only people who benefit are those who make a fortune from selling weapons and are granted contracts for reconstruction.

Haven't we learnt anything? What happened to "never again".

AIBU to really really really not want to be involved in any war?

Of course you're not.

No sane person wants to go to war.

We still need to be prepared

What war are we going into?

??? Why are we going to war?

Why is it that men feel this constant need for a willy waving contest, if we women were in charge it would never happen?

Very few people want to go to war.

However, history shows that appeasement does not always work. (Leaving aside the morality of trying). Sometimes war is imposed upon you.

How do we 'prevent' ourselves from going to war, OP? Practice hand wringing and then roll over and be occupied? Should we start learning Russian now?

Who the fuck wants to go to war?? Though of course decent people will go to war when the stakes are high enough. As the only alternative is being shot in your bed by an invading army.

Yanbu

Zelensky needs to back down before we have WW3, but he won’t and the UK will back him.

Too many lives have been lost already without the UK adding to the death toll with it’s own personnel for a war that has nothing to do with us.

YABU OP, I for one can't wait for the next war we are involved in. I've been polishing my Tommy Gun for weeks. I'll be like Lord Flashheart in the trenches.

Jokes 🙄

Of course no one wants to go to bloody war.

I don't think it's just men these days though is it? Women in the military fight too.

Yeah Zelensky should just back down. Give Ukraine to Russia. And that will solve everything. No more wars. Great plan! 🙄🙄🙄

As Julia Hartley Brewer asked Russia apologist Tice, if Putin invaded Britain, what part of our country would you be happy to give up?

We're not upping defence spending to go to war. It's supposed to be a deterrent.

London. But could Russia afford the congestion and ulez charges for all their tanks?

YABU

It’s not just sons, brothers and fathers. Daughters, sisters and mothers fight alongside men and, in conflict, will die alongside them.

But no, you are not unreasonable not to want to go to war.

Nobody is imposing war on the UK

It's not just men, OP.

No, we don't want to go to war. Last thing we want or need. I really hope that something happens to stop this foolishness, greed and bigotism from the orange turnip and the russian dictator

Can you show me what you've seen that makes you think Russia has any interest in the UK

Disingenuous.

What makes you think we are going to war then?

just a bit of casual everyday sexism there OP.

Then what makes you think we are going to war?

What?

Never usually say this about JHB but she's right on this. It's 'first they came for the trade unionists...' writ large.

Yes, or maybe OP is from a different patriarchal culture and does not realise her his Freudian slip.

If ots going to happen it will be over pretty quick. The UK doent have the capability or the will to fight an invasion. We will surrender quickly.
