Inter arma enim silent lēgēs
Cicero, Pro Milone (52BC)
Except for Antarctica, almost every square inch of this Earth is fought for land.

War and Justice are ever foreign concepts. Of course the Woke are not concerned with justice, but rather with present political battles.

I believe that the Jewish tradition is the fairest.
