No disagreement from me. It's like the Canadian (or American) cancer society's. Do not get me wrong. My family has been hit hard by this disease and they have helped to be sure. But only to a point. You look at the millions (no billions) that have been donated and we only have treatments? There have been no cures? They have absolutely no interest in a cure. Just like the drug companies. They want a lifelong treatment they can sell you, not a 6 week permanent cure. Where's the job/profit in that.
These groups (all of them) become animals all on their own that become self sustaining. They all (Nato, UN, Drug industry, CCS etc) all are in the business of protecting their a$$es and selling fear.
The CCS does not want a cure, because they will all be out of a job. The UN does not want Peace (nor does Nato) because they would actually have to go look for a real job with some meaning that produces something. If you listen to the annual speeches at the UN, they just go their (all of them) to stir the pot and get the guns fired up for another year. No leader ever reaches out to an 'enemy' to try and solve anything.
It's the military industrial complex gone to the extreme. Peace means that GE or Lockheed or whatever would have to start building farm tractors. All these world leaders are far more scared of peace than they are of war. Peace means huge defense spending isn't required. Thousands of jobs lost. Turmoil and their small brains can not figure out how to reinvest all those wasted billions to other industries or more worthy enterprises.
How fast would the US debt be paid off if there was peace?

And who takes America's place when the country is bankrupt and unable to run around the world and police all this stuff? Noting your location and the British wanting to get out of this role, I can't see the US doing it alone. Canada wants out after almost 6 years of doing this endless task.
Nato seems to be a failure IMO. So many countries want to be in the club but when it comes to the heavy lifting, they want to stand in the background and just be support (whatever the heck that is) while a couple of countries suffer the losses and costs on the front line.
