Seems strange to me to assign any emotion to the political entity of a huge country. I don’t even mean what it means. What does China / America/ Soviet Union feeling remorse even look like?

History has shown us that any super power will go to war. The Romans, the British, the Americans. Maybe we’ve learned our lesson from history or maybe today things are different due to greater education, multiculturalism and just rapid communication. Either way we shouldn’t be pinning our hopes on “Jesus Christ”, as again I don’t know what that means. Would he come down and disarm everyone or something?

We avoid conflict by having rational open dialog, educating people and increasing transparency and accountability. The way to increase the probability of conflict is by having this tribalistic us vs them mentality. Everything they do is bad, they are evil and we are just.

When that political party is set on dictating not only how every citizen but how every ethnic should behave... well...
