Do you think that, at this point in history, war falls in the same “pool of possibilities”
as the Donald winning, or is it just more populist stirrups that haunt the news?

I wonder, where are the Europeans going to seek refuge in case of conflict? In Trump’s
US? Well, not if you’re gypsy, or Albanian, or Bosnian … If the Mexican wall is 
up will the Spanish or Portuguese people be offered refuge, should the war in Europe
get that far west?

I think progressives sped up progress too fast. At high speed a small tiny bump 
in the road can send you crashing in the first tree. I understand what libtard means,
and I am a liberal: a libtard is that liberal who doesn’t understand the part of
human nature which makes us feel like we lost whenever we’re proven wrong. Libtards
don’t experience this feeling because the science and studies are “on their side”
and they lack that empathy and compassion required for persuading people to change.

I’ve seen so many people laughing about Greece’s military spending, having no clue
of the reasons behind that. Say Turkey falls over the edge and becomes a fundamentalist
state driven to a “holy” war, will they not first settle their Greek issues? Sure
they will! The world now, even this place, Medium, is so filled with disconnected
folk who simply think they know everything there is to be known, backed by zillions
of facts and armed with powerful phrasing, borrowed from great speeches.

Do social justice warriors understand, I wonder, that some of the Serbs didn’t really
settle with their losing the war? Do they know that some of the Croatians know how
those Serbs feel? Do people who claim we should welcome waves of immigration as 
if it is the normal thing to do, know that most of the personnel tasked with background
checks are tired and overworked folk with families waiting at home? Free movement
is the _right thing to do, _not _the normal thing to do. _The normal thing, in general,
is to consider how much of the right thing does it fit in what we have as a pot.

We behave as if seventy years of peace erases hundred and hundreds of years of folklore,
lore, rivalries, indoctrination, religious education, customs, ethnic ties, foes
and friends. Why do people believe that in a certain situation, with all the public
apology, the Chinese won’t pay back to the Japanese all the pain they distilled 
in all these decades? I wonder, don’t the Japanese know that?

I live in a small country where _the majority of _people _want orthodox dogma to
be taught as a mandatory “religion” course in primary school! _In this country racism
is rampant and so are ethnic issues, unaddressed for decades. I watch as foreign
forces try to force reform here, oblivious, for example, to the fact that nepotism
is so ingrained in our way of life that we don’t consider it to be corruption. Stealing
from the state, theft from big faceless institutions, was both the survival method
and the key to success in life during 45 years of communist rule, and the EU hands
us free money. Ha ha. It would be amusing, only if were it not so sad.

We the Romanians were so angry when the Britons and the French made fun of us, or
blamed us for their lack of employment or street beggars. But then when the quota
for immigration was sent our way, we did the same things done to us, unto future
Syrian immigrants. Just as the UK or France forgets the horde of IT, medical and
scientific emigration out of Romania and into _their _countries, using that expertise,
using the education we the Romanians paid for to advance _their _societies, so do
we forget the many Muslims that are respectable business owners or doctors in our
country, because crowds suffer from a kind of mix of paranoia and schizophrenia.

Crowds suffer from a kind of mix of paranoia and schizophrenia as if these latent
diseases, which we all have but some of us manage very well, compound. People in
Romania actually went out in the street in support of the Syrian secretary of state
who revamped our medical emergency response system, and then the same Romanian people
voted people who promised to keep those Syrians out.

So, I am asking you [Tom Mitchell](https://medium.com/@tommycm) in this longish 
response, can war happen? If president Drumpf is a possible reality, is world war
in the 21st century a possible reality? Will that 22 million army of Turkey ever
assemble? What do you think?

I was watching an antisemitic video on YouTube and that moron explained how the 
Hebrew people are evil because they don’t go to war like everyone else. I wonder,
are there countries who came to the conclusion that the only way to level the global
economy is to bring the others down?

What are we doing?
