I believe that the cost of establishing peace is much lower than the cost of war and is many times more sustainable, and it is possible to start from the axiom that $1 spent on economic and social development brings more security, peace, and stability than $1,000 spent on military operations to achieve stability. In addition, military operations, whatever they may be, can only bring devastation, destruction and disasters whose economic and social effects will last for a long time. Anyone who lived it is fully aware of this, and we lived it in all its minute details in Syria. Therefore, I am surprised how politicians only think about military operations and procedures to achieve peace in Ukraine, Sudan, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, and... Our belief is deeply rooted that all conferences, meetings, workshops, and training courses related to the green economy, sustainable development, human rights, democracy, and scientific peace Climate, and finally protecting the planet, are nothing more than words and fantasy. Because the reality is completely different, especially what we see and feel of wars and disasters. For example, it is possible that a missile on a ship transporting tens of thousands of cubic meters of chemicals in the Red Sea, or a giant oil tanker, or the like, will destroy life and biological diversity in the Red Sea, for example. I am surprised why peaceful procedures are not considered to solve the most complex issues instead of military operations and procedures.
Military decisions often do not sustainably guarantee peace. Although they may impose a temporary truce or resolve short-term conflicts, peace decisions are often more effective in building lasting peace. Here are some reasons:
1-Human and Economic Costs: Military operations can result in loss of life, injury, and destruction. Additionally, military expenditures are significant and can affect a country's economy.
2-Rebounds and Cycles of Violence: Military solutions can create resentment and hostility, often leading to cycles of violence. Sustainable peace requires addressing the underlying causes of conflict and finding acceptable solutions for all parties.
3-Negotiation and Diplomacy: Peace decisions involve dialogue, compromise, and negotiation. These approaches can address the concerns of all parties involved and find mutually acceptable solutions.
4-Institutions and Development: Sustainable peace is based on strong institutions, economic development, education, and justice. These factors cannot be achieved through military means alone.
In summary, while military decisions may be necessary in extreme situations, peace decisions are generally more desirable to achieve a lasting and sustainable peace.
Sir, Jorge Morales Pedraza
Thank you very much for your valuable addition to the topic.
America's policy depends on the control and expansion of unipolar influence and interests by following a policy of creative chaos that constantly spreads devastation and wars in societies in order to be in a state of constant need for America.
As for peace tools, they are more successful in achieving the protection of societies and achieving stability and development, because there are two types of peace, as Johan mentioned: negative peace, which is only the prevention of war, and positive peace, which is the continuation of peace and the elimination of conflict factors in societies. Therefore, we find that among the tools of peace are dialogue and negotiation, which is A civilized and humanitarian demand, in contrast to conflict and striking the sword with the sword, because it leads societies to rapprochement and compromise solutions.
