Anti-war, Forever and Ever.

From my response to Facebook chats etcetera.

I HAVE gotten old being anti-war in two countries (or continents). So I broke down all my "little" ancillary idealisms into a singular activism: Anti-war. War breeds all the evils humanity is guilty of. 

       So I don't really give a hoot what political party, what cultural weirdness, what uncoolness, or what sort of donut people are aligned with or prefer. If that person is against wars and wastage of lives and resources in wars, I'd toss a PBR to that guy. 

       Tactical alliance. Long time ago in the Philippines, we sat with people who thumbed-down our avowed ideology but we agreed to work together to help bring down a dictatorship (a real one, not an imagined one). We succeeded. 

       Two wars are still ongoing. The Middle East fire is escalating. And if the current leadership won, the one being goaded in Asia's South China Sea would most likely stoke tempests as well in the region. It's not like, voila, no more wars in 2025! We know hawks in Washington will be prepared. 

       But I'd rather bet on an obnoxious mouth who had two peace talks than one with a calm tone that tossed arms to two wars. ☮️☮️☮️
