Western Society has been conned into believing the idea that Wars can be conducted in a civilised fashion according to rules set out in a convention.
When 9/11 occurred there were countries where it was celebrated even though it contradicted every single value of Western Society.
Wars are the ultimate act of human barbarism. No other creature of which we are aware engages in what could be described as a war.
In World War 2 the Japanese killed an estimated 20 million Chinese. The Allies supported the use of two nuclear weapons on Japanese civilians.
Western Society needs to wake up to the fact Wars are appalling and cannot be played by the rules as both sides have only one goal which is to win and so called rules will never get in the way of that ambition.
The Western Front saw tens of thousands of young men primed to advance humanity killed and psychologically damaged on a daily basis.
All the arguments under the sun about one side or the other being too barbaric have absolutely no meaning in Wars.
There is a famous statement about the ‘War to End All Wars’. This statement was made because at that point the barbarous futility of War for one fleeting moment was understood by the bulk of the World’s population. Thus there was a need to explain why that War was necessary.
This moment however was slowly buried under the propaganda that if the World had Rules for making War they could become civilised events a bit like a sporting match.
Wars transcend all civilised understanding. If you go to War you go to win at all costs. That is why the nuclear deterrent has avoided the Third World War because all sides know that all rules go out the window if someone launches.
This is when true genocide will occur and no one will be running around issuing arrest warrants.
