Should we stop using war as population culling of our young people?
For most of our Godless history, governments and religions have used war to reduce the population of their unruly men and women. This is understandable for those times, as tribes, governments and religions would have wanted to reduce the overrepresented male numbers, as compared to much fewer female numbers. Population balance, unfortunately, was required.
Ancient tough love from the Gods.
Modern wars seem to be designed to continue that vile policy.
Should we ask our political and oligarchic masters to stop wasting our young people with ancient ways?
If we are not to change our ways, cull the old. We are living too long, and the joys are fewer, as we watch the young be buried before the old. The opposite of what nature wants to see.
Culling the old is the moral thing to do. Our ways of culling the young are not natural.

I hear Bane's words echo loudly today...
Peace has cost you your strength: only weapons are being supplied to Ukraine. No countries are taking part in the conflict. Russia is resorting to bombardments because his soldiers, long weakened by a prolonged period of peace, are being pushed back.
Victory has defeated you: on two fronts. One, no country is fighting back against Putin outside Ukraine. He is winning in a way by suppressing us with the fear of nuclear war. In another, Ukraine is earning victory by killing far more of Russia's soldiers than they would have if they were more solid and let's not forget the number of Russian tanks destroyed as well.
The process of culling our young has mutated into an ugly form: bombing civilian targets and executing people in the street. Our long term peace has reduced the strength of Russia's backbone to the point where it no longer has the same vitality as it used to.
I for one, am appalled by how far Russia has fallen.
