#5: Antiwar Voices

 


    Anti-war voices are critical today as tensions build between the United States and Russia, now backed by China. Unfortunately, it is hard to hear the voices of those who do not want war between the two mega powers of the world, even though most American citizens and likely Russian citizens do not want war between the two powers. 

    Yet, even though the majority of the world's population does not want to go to war, we see our leaders continue to gear up and rattle the cage of war again and again. I think it is likely that war benefits very few individuals. Still, some of those individuals include gun manufacturers, military arms manufacturers, or even news corporations at this point in history. 

    Is it possible that the United States is gearing up for war because these large corporations are the ones that give money to these politicians to run for office and continue to win again and again? In reality, there should be no reason to go to war with either Russia or China, simply put, if we want to stop the invasion of individual nations, then we need to focus on imposing punishments against Russia or China and supporting the respective countries rather than flat out declaring war against countries which have not acted on their threats. 

    Is it possible that Google and other internet browsers hide these anti-war voices in a collusion effort with the United States government to prevent our first amendment rights to speak out against the outrageous actions of our government to want to send our country into a war which mutually assured destruction is guaranteed?
