If NATO and Russia ever go to war, NATO-CEO Rutte won’t be in the trenches. He’ll be sipping champagne in New Zealand, safe with his family and his €millions, delivering empty speeches about "freedom" and "victory" while we -the disposable, the poor, the expendable- rot in the mud for the profits of arms dealers. War pigs like him and Putin? They don’t bleed. They don’t die. They just get fucking richer. They don´t care about me, you or anyone else And the worst part? We let them. I really wonder: Why don’t people get this yet?

Now, if people like you are prepared to die for whatever bullshit they’re selling, go ahead, I won’t stop you. But don’t drag me into your nonsense.

@Hans van Zijst I’m not saying anyone is literally sending me to the trenches (for now), nor that NATO should be led by a front-line soldier.

My point is this: History shows that elites survive wars, ordinary people don’t. the people who talk toughest about war almost never bear the same risks as those who end up paying with their lives. That’s true for Putin, for Rutte, for Trump and whoever else I don’t deny Russia is a potential threat. But, who defines that threat and who pays the price? So far, it’s never been those giving the heroic speeches far far away from the line of contact. In 1914, glorious leaders also talked about "unity" and "defending the fatherland" We know how that ended: not with victory parades for the working class, but with mass graves and revolutions/counter-revolutions. So thhe question isn’t just How do we stop Putin? but how do we stop this without destroying ourselves in the process? Now you may ask, Taschenlampe what is your solution? I´d like the quote the German KAnzler Schmidt, who was not a pacifist but a pragmatist:

"Lieber hundert Stunden umsonst verhandeln, als eine Minute schießen!"

I do not see any other solution
