pretty much. war never really benefits anyone but a selected few. it's is a fucking massive waste of resources, not just in terms of the manpower you have to put into it, but also in terms of the damage you cause to the infrastructure. anyone who thinks war is preferable over just reaching a compromise both sides can live with needs to get the living shit beaten out of them for once so they start having a vague idea of what they are actually advocating for. it's a necessary evil you sometimes have to employ if the other side is unwilling to be reasonable, but never something you should actively provoke.
