Shouldn't we as a species move beyond forcing people to war with each other? Isn't it abusive to tell young men they have to go fight other young men even though it doesn't themselves to do so?

In other words, should pacifism be a human right?

Wouldn't the world be 10x more peaceful if no one was forced or coerced to fight?

Who are these wars benefitting?

* it doesn't benefit themselves to do so.

Forcing someone to do something that is nothing-but-detrimental to their well-being is abusive. Can we start to call a spade a spade now: Zelensky and Putin are both -->abusive.<--...

End the wars. A few billionaires benefit while billions of us could die from wars that are to come. Always remember the golden rule. Fight only to protect the homeland. The rest of the world can settle their own problems. I thought I got away from the US war machine when I moved over here, but, the Philippines, Under Bongbong Marcos, has aligned itself with the USA, & allowed several new military bases here. I fear for my life & the lives of everyone living here. The Philippines should have remained neutral. I wonder what Marcos got out of these agreements. Always follow the money.

Neutrality does seem to benefit those who are neutral. Mostly because there is nothing to gain from this "Hatfields & McCoys" type conflicts.
