In real war, nations mobilize. People know what happens when wars are lost. Rape, murder, exterminations, and enslavement are visited upon the defeated.
Long periods without the immediate threat of invasion show that peace is a different kind on war. In periods of peace, non-warriors wage war on the warriors.
In real war, people ask God to save them. Peace is a different kind of war with a different kind of prayer. People pray for advantages over their neighbors, and ask the deities of Babylon for assistance.
In real war, people depend on the smarter to invent, deliver, and use effective weapons. Peace is a different kind of war in which the less able insist on equal, or superior position regardless of ability.
In real war, the most intelligent are needed in finance, battle and supply. Peace is a different kind of war. Efficiency provided by the more intelligent is not wanted. If they threaten the wealthy, the aggrieved, and organized groups of the less intelligent, then the most able must be marginalized.
In real war, organizations have defined purposes. From the fire team to squad to platoon to company to battalion to brigade to division to army, each commander is selected on ability. Peace is a different kind of war. Educational systems typify the glorification of amoral mediocrity and refusal of any moral or intellectual ability that threatens the jobs, benefits, and pensions of the less able.
In real war, men and women work together. Peace is a different kind of war in which women are turned against men. That begins in education, spreads through every level of government, and into private organizations, destroying family formation as it spreads.
Today, real wars are not fought by invasion that may risk having more capable people put in charge. Wars are won by attacks on God, His Church, and undermining the goodness of marriage and families. As invaded nations begin to die, the invaders move in through the openings provided by the less intelligent.
In peacetime, mediocre officials obtain huge funds paid by invaders’ governments. When their pawns are elected, they allow, and even fund, invading immigrants.
Peace is a different kind of war. It is deadlier. God allows it when He turns His Face from those who have abandoned the Doctrines of The Only Church He Founded and allowed the most innocent children to be sacrificed on the altars of convenience.
It is God Who destroys Babylons. He does so by allowing short-sighted fools to be put in charge of nations that do not respect life.
