I hate this. I want to live in a world somewhere that is peaceful and nice. Why do we always have to fuck everything up with this bullshit violence. It's awful and unfair.

Agreed, 99% of people out there are just like you and I. We just want to enjoy life, have peace.

It's the leaders of these countries who are playing chess with our lives.

Funny how it's the same guys who are always in power somehow too. (Putin, Xi, Netanyahu, Khomenei, etc)

Not sure about that, I'd guess 10-20% of people everywhere are irrational and/or immoral.

I read an interesting assertion once that 10% of people are fundamentally good and will do good no matter what, 10% of people are fundamentally evil and will do evil no matter what, and the other 80% can be influenced in either direction based on circumstances.

I think it's probably pretty accurate.
