War is simply a agreement between the ruling class liviung in separate countries to kill a lot of proles. The ruling class never suffers during a war, because the war isn't between "countries", it's between the ruling class and the proles.

If war were to be versus those rattling their swords, Russia would bomb Stoltenburg's house. Drop a bomb on Zelensky himself. If the proles were smart enough to refuse to raise arms against one antoher, there wouldn't be any wars. Maybe there wouldn't even be a ruling class.
