You had me until the last paragraph.

Sounds like yet another false narrative around another war to end wars.

The fact that you see this is as an only option is simply the lack of imagination and real resolve for peace. It is what keeps all wars going. And those in power want to keep it that way. Young men dying while the rich everywhere, even now in Ukraine and Russia, and certainly in the USofA, keep getting wealthier.

I want a crushing defeat to the USofA's (not just wannabe) Imperialst notions —like fueling this proxy war with Ukrainian blood (to give our weapons manufacturers and their investors amazing profits).

The Pandora box is open, it is wrapped in red/white/blue, and already has its eye on Taiwan.

This is the option I want to see.

But it is not likely because boys like the one who wrote this piece on Medium—educated by war movies and entertainment news—are all excited about their war toys, the rockets in their pockets, all while sitting in the comfort of their computer screens.
