11. ok, my fault; you have not seen the episode ....

It deals with a planet that is inhabited by two civilizations that have been at war for centuries. Nobody even knew why they were fighting. Over the years, the developed "civilized war"; a computer war game that determined casualties.In other words, they did not actually bomb each other anymore. when the casualty list came out, each side was expected to execute the proper number of citizens to meet the computer's numbers.
The whole point was that I wished that we did it that way, and the only names in the casualty lottery were those that cry out for War.
I am about as anti - bombing as you can get; I'm the asshole that jeered at the crying child video because I hate that manipulative bullshit.
I think most pro bombers think firing a few missiles is no big deal,but I think this has the potential to escalate terribly. I think there is a good chance that Putin will do more than just provide instructions for missiles. He is a cowboy, and he has economic interests to look after.

Thats for another time....
