Every parent wants to protect their children from being bullied in school, and yes I understand that governments also just wants to protect their countries!

Please understand I am not a politician and no I don't have all the answers.
One thing that I am wondering about is, if the great respected leaders of great countries, stand up and threaten and wanting to bully smaller countries as to show off their power. What type of message are they sending out to the younger generation?
I was always taught that one needs to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem because violence has never solved any problems, it in fact incites greater hatred and in seeking greater revenge, and I think that we have enough of that in the world and we do not really need more of it.
Leaders, need to lead and to set examples for their people and the world, and it is this type of example that our young generation is seeing and will be following. In short they think "if this great leader can do so can I".
So from my point of view, if leaders like President Trump, stand up in public and openly threatens another county that is not sending the message that bullying is wrong.
How can we as parents win if our leaders are doing the opposite of what we are trying to teach our kids?
