I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're all assholes.
Hahahaha
It's funny that even god does not realize that the plural of sheep is actually sheep.

Interesting points, and from what I gather you prefer peace over war (at least as the end goal).
Peace usually starts with ceasefire, then negotiations, and finally compromise, that's pretty much it.
With an objective mainstream media who cared about human life we would read news about every attempt to negotiate a way out of the war, there would be priority on peaceful means to end it, instead we have a bloodthirsty corporate sponsored media which fuels the fire by posting news about war heroes, old ladies learning how to use an ak47, news about sending weapons with a super positive spin, encouraging aggression at every chance possible, eventually people reading this shit start doing the same thing.
So, we can concede that many folks would prefer peace - and maybe we cannot concede about the so many messages that are put out there, and whether they are reflective of either what people want or how they might conjecture to be the best way to get from where we are now to a "peace" status.
I am not proclaiming to know how to get from where we are at to a "peace" status....
Maybe in some sense we can attempt to see that the topic is similar to the topic of bitcoin, no?
We have people coming into this thread or into bitcoin and saying x, y and z need to be done blah blah blah.. and sure, maybe that is true.. .but there is ONLY so much that each of us can do.. and yeah, maybe we can get into a new profession (or the employment of new life goals) to promote world peace...
I personally prefer to attempt to approach any topic from a descriptive rather than a prescriptive perspective... even though I still may well have my preferred direction...
Some times some of us get criticized because we are observers rather than actors, and surely there is ONLY so much that any of us is capable of doing - and what we can do will vary depending on where we are at in life.. I have a lot less physical energy than I did when I was young, but a lot more money.. yet sometimes, I have to also be careful in terms of just throwing money at some situation.. if I think that action from me might be helpful
Another thing that could well change the calculous of any of us would be how much we perceive our own lives to be within the battle zone, and from how many angles is the battle being waged... so yeah, we could become concerned when there are unknowns, but also the actions of others end up having more concrete impacts on our lives - either present status or our prospects of our future options.
