War?! What is it good for?! Absolutely Nothing!
British protests often say this, as a chant during demonstrations on foreign interventions by our state

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
Reminds me of a quote I saw which was like, “mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.” I don’t know that I agree with it 100% because I believe we should always have mercy but it makes a good point. Neglect to exercise justice really does harm the innocent. If a man punches your wife in the face you cant just say “well war what is it good for?”. You have to defend her.

It’s hard to hold calm.
War sucks!
But when an innocent people are being suppressed, tortured , murdered then standing up to the abusers can be heroic , brave and admirable.
If an outside party/country/people defend such people that’s amazing and kind .
It’s like standing up to bullies or defending a bullied person.
I try to be cruelty free and want peace but if someone people are doing evil for no real reason then it can be good to set boundaries and say this is not ok.
“Put foot down “.
I was always against so much money being spent on weapons when there’s people homeless and starving but true look at how Jews , disabled and lgbtq etc were tortured and murdered.
Just for being themselves.
Hate such an ugliness .
Praying for peace but also praying for no such evils anc horrible ones to havd “power “and do so much bad.

Oppenheimer movie was exactly about the debate of reason for war and how to end it. Some we may not be able to accept but that is the way it is. Expect the unexpected and hope for better ending.
