Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

This is bait, right? Why would you mention the war if they don't mention it? Why would you put your university degree at risk to dunk on some randos who don't even necessarily oppose you?
I think maybe OP is not good at english and is expressing himself poorly. Maybe the war is a part of the agenda of the meeting.

It is not and I was told that the war will be mentioned by them.
Will they be asking your opinion?
Edit: it seems like you're considering putting yourself in a tough position for little to no benefit, and with potential risk.
I don't know. I was just told that they will want to talk about the war.
I'm not sure what level of university you're in exactly, but the number one skill you learn in most schooling is bullshitting. Whatever the teachers say, nobody involved in this actually wants some kind of deep intellectual discussion. Liberal education isn't about that. Like the overwhelming majority of your education, this is a test of your bullshitting skills. Ask the obvious questions, give the uncontroversial and expected answers, write your 10 page essay about how brave these people are and how much you learned and grew as a person by talking to them, collect your grade, and move on.
