Especially in Europe, war is what propelled Europe to the top due to the drive to innovate and push for deadlier and more effective ways to kill people, which translated into civilian use.

War is just diplomacy by other means

👍

@Jere Your thoughts?

About what?

I think that war should be used a lot more often as a way to achieve goals

'no'

@Deleted User ?

It's not profitable to start wars anymore

*oil*

yeah

to brown people

War is extremely profitable still if done correctly

I am both for that and against it. I don't want to start wars BUT I want my country to have good defence, and survive.

Even in Europe

ecks dee

no

Ukraine was insurgents

If you annex a country or even a portion of it, you can potentially get all their factories and resources

Yeah only if you have historical claims

that would only work with Russia

Who gives a shit about historical claims really?

Russia has claims to Ukraine/Belarus

The problem with that in Europe is that Great britain will most likely rush to try to stop it though

literally everyone

International recognition dosent matter

Ukraine/Belarus aren't real countries

Russia literally takes a part of ukraine and no one does anything

If you have the factories and they dont recognize you have factories they are just blind

factories aren't useful

Ukraine is rightfully part of Russia

or not as useful as you think

factories aren't useful

Wars being prosperity and wealth long term

To the winning side

Weapons manufacturing factories are quite good in my opinion.

Prussia won lots of wars

now it doesn't exist

The thousands of wars that happen in europe is a reason Europe is as advanced as it is now

Prussia exists via Germany

you lose one and they carve you up permanently
