There is no sign that Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is coming to an end, but Germany is already debating whether the Bundeswehr should participate in peacekeeping forces.

“Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum”
Yeah, another great latin phrase…
Because if it’s Latin there must be meaning beyond meaning.
I wonder whether you read the linked article. Cause, wouldn’t you be embarrassed to use it then? A phrase from the late, late Roman empire, that the terrific idea obviously didn’t prevent from falling, largely in use in humanistic imperial societies, even manufacturing guns referencing the phrase, doesn’t make you pause?
Sure, lets throw all our weapons away and tell Putin to pretty please don’t invade us… again. /s
I use the phrase because it I find it relevant in times like this, and yes I read the article, I actually first thought that it was Patton who coined the phrase “If you want peace, prepare for war”, so that’s why I linked the wiki.
of course you’d find it relevant, because you’ve been reading it over and over
Very telling that it’s a Latin saying, lol. I wanna make peace with the living, not the dead!
The point isn’t to make dead people. The point is to be a target too dangerous for a potential enemy to want to attack. It’s to keep people alive, because if an enemy were to look at you they’d see you’re ready to fight them and decide not to; at least, that’s the idea. Some enemies are too stupid or careless that they’d do it anyway.
