War

I find it very disturbing how leaders try to distract from their problems at home by starting wars. It is sad, but so true. They try to use war to galvanize the people against a foreign country so the people forget about their own leader’s failures.

Three current cases in point: Donald Trump of the United States; Vladimir Putin of Russia; and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. They are conducting their wars because it is in their own best interests. It’s that simple. Surely, as a species, we can do better, can’t we?
