The United States, Russia, China, Israel, and Iran often use pleasant-sounding words to describe their power, such as “security,” “stability,” “deterrence,” and “order.”
But war does not become better just because it has a nice name.
The United States often talks about freedom and the international order, but the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya also brought ruins, displaced people, and long-term insecurity.
Russia says it attacked Ukraine for the sake of security, but an invasion is still an invasion; many cities were damaged, and many families were forced to leave.
China more often uses the economy, trade, and infrastructure to expand its influence, and it also shows its power in the South China Sea and over Taiwan.
Israel emphasizes protecting the safety of its people, but if attacks are not restrained, civilians in Gaza will suffer greatly.
Iran often speaks of resisting outside pressure, but regional conflicts also make life harder for ordinary people.
Different countries say different things, but they all want to protect their own interests.
The ones who truly suffer are often ordinary people.
The world has spent a huge amount of money preparing for war. If everyone only talks about power and not peace, more and more people will end up losing their homes.
