The Middle East

[Model_Amy]

This is NOT a political post.

However - first the situation in Ukraine - now the Middle East. Why can't we all just live in peace together? History should teach us things. Humans are **** at learning.

It's scary, too many innocent lives taken.

We are a world that doesn’t learn from our past and strive to continue to have more than the next person, city, county, state, country, etc. we are greedy and don’t learn from our past mistakes!

We will never learn that enough is enough. It never will be. So sad.

you say it is not a political post, but the answer is we permit our leaders to act so irresponsibly.

as for the wars, they are a symptom, not a cause

Exact. Everything is politics, religion, power struggle... We let a few direct our lives and keep the world in constant tension just to achieve their objectives.
They don't give a shit about humanity.

If WWIII ever breaks out just know ya'll can move to Mexico with me, they never participate in the world's nonsense, always neutral.

Not a bad idea...

While indeed Mexico remained neutral and stayed out of the first world war, the same cannot be said for the second. After Pearl Harbor, Mexico broke off relations with the Axis powers, and granted the US extended rights in Mexican ports and cities. In May 1942 German Uboats patrolling in the Gulf of Mexico sunk two Mexican tankers sinking both and spurring Mexico to declare that they were at war with the Axis powers. Mexico instituted national military service in 1942 as well as civil defense. The USA was granted radar surveillance, landing permissions, naval patrols, and chains of command rights as well.

Violent protests followed as the citizens of Mexico did not want to be pulled into the global conflict. The draft went on but conscripts were termed exempt from overseas service. There was however groups from Mexico that trained in America and served in the war. Of them Escuadrón 201, better known as the Aztec Eagles, who saw fighter air combat in World War II fighting Imperial Japan in 1945. The three hundred volunteers flew 96 combat missions and almost 2000 flight hours in combat zones. The squadron delivered over 600 tons of bombs and lost just one flyer killed in combat.

Also some 400,000 Mexican citizens came north to work in America under the Bracero Program giving them the opportunity to work in the US in support of the Allied war effort. This also granted them an opportunity to gain US citizenship by enlisting in the military. All of Mexico should be proud of the cooperation they offered the Allied war effort.

no we dont learn from the past, because we have a tendency to not actually know what happened in the past as an average person.

[martastyle]

It's true. Furthermore, politicians repeat the same mistakes that others made in the past and once again cause riots, insecurity and wars. It is currently happening in my country.
