> acting like we can just be nice and everyone will get along

"We"? As far as I know US is not part of that region. Also I remember current president was campaigning on not starting wars. And yet here we are.

With intercontinental weapons and shipping, we're sorta all part of every region. In Zeeland I'm literally as far from New Zealand as humanly possible, but if another SARS pops up there or a war breaks out there, it's very likely to affect me in some way

So I guess we're on the same anti-war side, but for opposite reasons?
