Alison Jane,

Can there be no hope for 'Peace in out Time'?

Surely humankind has to learn that from the very beginning our 'nature' has been to nurture and to share. When was this lost, and why?

We must surely all be suffering from subconscious PTSD, running from one crisis to another - and ever trying to find some new technology to relieve the never-ending torment.

Can it be that peace may only be attained under a Global Autocracy?

Such a weak creature, surely we do not deserve this Eden - which we ultimately seem bent on destroying.

"Surely humankind has to learn that from the very beginning our 'nature' has been to nurture and to share. When was this lost, and why?"

Are you serious? that would only be half the story.

I believe that life is the struggle between two different impulses, both good and bad.

IMO, Australia too may need nuclear weapons one day, assuming that the USA does not increase its presence here and nearby.

Nuclear weapons will be here for a long time yet, especially with the CCP and Russia around.

Trying to cancel the outcome of ww2 now are we..

Does that mean we're advocating cancellation of the UN as well?
That one's still causing harm.

Oh dear, which makes me despair the most... Saltpetre's bizarre, isolated world, Binoy's "cancel culture" attitude to the Bomb, or the indoctrinated students who must listen to Binoys lectures at Uni?

At least China, the Green Meanies, Climate Change Cultists and the anarchists ( XR, BLM, Antifa....) will have a friend in Binoy and his ilk.

Binoy and the 'cancel culture kids' will never see war, but they will write the propaganda that will deliver, execute and sell future 'righteous China/eco-warrior' wars to the proletariat who will fight those wars for them.

"A study done for Secretary of War Henry Stimson's staff by William Shockley estimated that invading Japan would cost 1.7–4 million American casualties, including 400,000–800,000 fatalities, and five to ten million Japanese fatalities."

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall#Estimated_casualties

Instead the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved more than 4.5 million to 9.5 million Japanese lives...

Speaking of Hiroshima and "cancel culture" I quite like this truth-telling essay:
