Opinion | Death by Nationalism?

"The game of conquest—the game of war, and all that comes with it, e.g., the dehumanization of most of humanity, the indifference to its toll on the planet itself—has been going on for thousands of years."

“The irresolvable dilemma facing Western leaders is that this is a no-win situation. How can they militarily defeat Russia, when it possesses 6,000 nuclear warheads and its military doctrine explicitly states that it will use them before it will accept an existential military defeat?” The consequences of war and dehumanization always, always, always come home. There are no “nations,” except in our imagi-nations.

    I find the US quite hypocritical. In my lifetime: Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan have been overt colonizations, not to talk about the domination of South and Central America. Never officially declaring war means nothing.
