There should be more pacifist in the world. I like pacifist.

I personally can not see a world were pacifism works. So I am an isolationist. Fight only if you have to.
Why wouldn't it work?

Well it actually can work.

As for a nation Switzerland refuses to fight, but all men of fighting age are apart of their reserves. So I don't think you could call them pacifist. They have a backup plan.

You will always need some form of police.

So technically not every single person on the planet could be a pacifist because then who would protect us.

I think I am a pacifist unless I think I am going to die by violence and then I will be for self defense for a few minutes and then I will revert back to pacifism.

Are you confused yet? I think I am?

It sounds like you made a good argument for the USs involvement in stopping Nazi Germany's expansionist take over of Europe

Re: Alarming Invasion of Ukraine
Actually I came up with many logical arguments why we should not listen to our politicians lies that we always need to be in war.

You on the other hand really didn't say anything. You just asked questions.

That's O.K. Your a good egg.

Praxeas,

Why are you so obsessed with WW2?

Do you do WW2 reenactments on the weekend?

Is it true you have a basement full of WW2 memorabilia?

Oh yeah, if you were alive during WW2 would you have volunteered?

You sound defensive. Why are you trying to talk about me personally like that? I don't understand.

I am not defensive. Sorry I wasn't try to get all up in your business. I thought we were cool like that. You asked me a lot of questions. I tried to answer the best I could. Actually the last question was the only one I was interested in.

In WW2 would you volunteer?

Had we not gotten involved in WW 1, chances are there would never have been the rise of the Nazis in Germany.

Re: Alarming Invasion of Ukraine
Historically, the Crimea region belonged to Russia. Nakita Kruchev gave it to Ukraine illegally. So if Russia has the power to take it back, do we really want to stop them? Why should we care?
