It’s way past the time that humans start building peaceful societies!
Real security and protection comes from identifying and addressing the causes of conflict. Proactive peace making is a far better use of resources and should enrich communities rather than pouring money into armaments.
Foreign Military bases are no basis for peace and security. They are a threat to humanity and nature.
