    There has never been a moment of time, to my knowledge, when there was peace throughout the World. That says everything we need to know about humanity. But, I think we can evolve and I think the vast majority of people want to evolve.

    This is actually disputed, the very earliest human settlements suggest some collectivized groups did not indulge in large scale policing or warfare, although undoubtedly, violent interpersonal behavior must have been commonplace.

    I actually could, but they would not be what you might expect.

    The information I site is based on archeological digs and the "lack" of evidence associated with policing, armies or warfare, primarily from archeological work in sites around the Levant, Turkey,
    the Caucasas, and the Cradle of Civilization (early period) 8000 BC and earlier.

    Any pictures would simply be holes in the ground.

    It is a matter of will power and Putin is more than willing to play the waiting game as winter approaches.

    Shall I call you comrade as well? I have offered nothing but a viewpoint that the globe currently faces yet you seem bent on painting a picture of anyone who counters your opinion as comrade. Why is that?

    Yeah, I’m with you on this. The theory that people used to be peaceful … it just happened to be before any records were kept on the matter, and as soon as humans started writing stuff down or drawing pictures we started being terrible to each other. That frozen mummy they found in the Alps in 1991 dated back to prehistoric Europe, and if memory serves he had terrible wounds that could have only been inflicted by humans and had traces of blood on him from several of other people, strongly suggesting he had recently been involved in personal combat. Now that is one man. Could be an aberration. But I happen to believe that it was typical of Stone Age life to continuously have to fight to survive and protect what is yours from human predators.

    Why do some posters resort to name calling when someone has a different opinion?

    Honest question

    Yes, winter is hell for an INVADING army.... which is Russia in case you didn't know that.

    Winter isn't going to save them this time.

    It’s not okay to invade another country.

    Unless you’re the US.

    Word. We are the most dangerous and violent species on the planet. Reminds me of reading about an exhibit at a zoo that consisted of a sign that said " World's most dangerous animal" and a mirror.
