West shares Trumps view of Putin and would allow to re-arm and attack again. Both are opposed to NATO which would lead to a US exit of NATO and a large proliferation of nuclear weapons as countries can no longer rely on the US nuclear safety net and would have to build their own. The only reason we have so few nations without nuclear weapons is the existence of NATO. West/Trump are a threat to humanity.
for different reasons. I oppose NATO, too.
Whats the alternative to a group agreement of protection and limit to nukes like NATO provides?
abolition of states
What do you mean? Abolition of the idea of sovereign countries?
yes
Then just abolish violence. Just as easy.
the existence of the state doesn't abolish violence, so why should that be the standard?
Wishing for all states to just stop existing is just as likely as wishing for all violence to be abolished. Why waste a wish?
i'm not wishing. i'm organizing.
You are organizing to convince nations like the US and China and Russia to just stop existing? Just convince people to get along and to stop being corrupt. Nations are fine if people get along.
I'm organizing locally to build power outside of the state.
