Dear Russian, Chinese, and American citizens, please do not allow our governments to stir up hatred and resentment towards one another. They will want war, but we must not fight. Our own governments are the enemy - not the people of our nations.

Thank you for saying this. It's going to be very important to keep repeating this message loudly.

By reacting like this, you yourself are giving in to their (specifically, Russian) fearmongering. There is nothing to worry about. Nobody is seriously leading up to WWIII. Not Putin, not Xi Jinping, not even Trump are that stupid as to want war between nuclear powers.

Want evidence? In 2014, Turkey shot down a Russian Jet. Then, Turkish nationals (along with some Turkmenis), committed warcrimes by hunting down and killing the pilot and the rescue crew. Turkey is in NATO. Russia went through diplomatic channels for its response. Putin does not want WWIII. Nobody wants WWIII. Stop talking about WWIII as if it was a relevant thing.

I think we all need to remember that it's not the people. The people just want to live without issue. Xiao Bao says it best when talking to king Kang Zi, "the people don't care about you wars, your plight, the farmer just want to live in peace and without fear. They want their community grow, they don't care about fighting."

I lived in China for six years. I met far more lovely people than assholes. I am lucky enough to work with a few Russians. A cantankerous lot, but good people as well. My experience with Americans is similarly positive.

For all of the above groups, I have met real idiots as well

Every demographic in the world contains a generous sprinkling of fuckfaces. Some even form majority governments. Don't let them get you down!

You must be a teen. No nation named above wants war with any other nations named above. It is too costly. Do you know what would happen if China and US, who are very much invested in each other's economoes, went to war with one another? We would be broke before we fired the first shot. We rely on China's market and vice-versa. Russia, same with China. But while the US doesn't have as much invested in Russian economics, the price of war would bankrupt the Reds within a month. Stop being edgy and play outside son.

Most normies have never advocated for war, it wasn't till an event or something happened that entire nations get wrangled into wars. The common person gets no benefit from war, only the very serious possibility of loss, only the rich benefit.

I understand this thread was made with good intentions and will likely get many upvotes because people seemingly think all out war is always just around the corner, but there's really no need to worry.

Russia cannot afford to have a war with the U.S. or rather, they can't afford to get obliterated. Their military isn't capable of it as has been stated many times, their military is comparable to Iraq's which was demolished in days by the U.S. Russia's agenda is in Europe.

China and the U.S. are so financially intertwined there is nothing to gain from war. Not only that, I believe China itself has recently stated more than once that their focus is on continuing peaceful relations with the U.S. There is no betterment via war among these three countries.

So next time you hear the media try to act as if some conflict is just moments away or these countries are at each other's throats, remember they are in the business of getting viewers and making money, not actually giving concrete evidence for many of their baseless or over exaggerated assumptions.

Basically, calm your tits. No one wants war.

As an American, I would gladly reduce my standard of living slightly if it meant that the Russian and Chinese common man could be a little bit more secure and free.

I consider it a cost of allowing for peace in the world. Competition among nations is not a zero-sum game. Peaceful cooperation is beneficial to everyone, but is more difficult than simply making the "other" out to be an enemy.

The American executive branch wants to work with the Russian government and people. That's a fact, it's our Congress/Senate and media that are fear mongering. China, on the other hand, is not the same. We have no reason to hate the Chinese yet Trump has thrown shade their way before. All in all, I agree.

My wife was born in the US, but her parents are naturalized citizens from China, so we have a lot of family there, and travel there often. They are wonderful people, and my experienced visiting and travelling outside touristy areas has been great. We don't need conflict with China. It wouldn't benefit anyone.

The US gov has convinced our population to hate one another to the point of violence in the streets because an R or D in front of a name - All in support of a political ideology that nobody even agrees with 100%. I guess it's easier to remain in control if the people hate one another instead of the government.

If we can be manipulated to despise our fellow citizens, there's no hope for love amongst citizens of other nations.

Were farthest from a major war then we have been since WWII.

You are talking about what our media portrays, and not what the government actually wants. It sells to have media push us against eachother and it gets votes and support to paint a picture of impending doom.

China doesnt want war, Russia doesnt want war, the US doesnt want war (and is the only one ready for one if one did break out).

You are in fact falling for exactly what you are trying to steer people away from.

You know, I'd trust Chinese citizens more if they would stop claiming Taiwan is part of the PRC, and by extension it's aggressive claims to the Nine-Dash Line. But they all buy the Chinese government's propaganda(yes, even the younger generation who may have a distaste of the totalitarianism of the gov't but still also firmly believe in China's claim to Taiwan).

This post is stupid in so many ways. Pot calling the kettle black.

For USA in particular, that government is the result of a seriously awful political system in which neither of the big two parties have any incentive to make it more democratic or anywhere near reasonable, and besides that, people have voted in a ludicrous idiot for god-knows-why. Idiocracy has never come closer than this. Also worth noting is just how much political power money gets you.

Oh thank fuck this is starting to become a thing!

Yes, do not fight! Do not be dragged into wars, do not be fooled by this shit. You are not a patriot for killing and dying in the petty squabbles of power hungry men and women.

All of these fights and deaths are pointless, it's just a claw at power through a propaganda machine. The people of a nation are not the enemy, neither are their traditions or beliefs. It is their leadership that's causing this, theirs and your own.

International trade and technological development has made life better for most, it gave us the internet for god's sake. We are a civilisation thats much more evolved than fighting for land and resources. There is no more need for this, do not allow it to continue any longer.

Also if you think the government had the best interest to their country and people in mind, just look at current events and asses what they get out of all of their actions as opposed to what you get.

No more wars for power,, fighting should always be for defense, never for offense.
