How to stop a war?

"Agreements, whether simple or elaborate, whether legal or political in nature, whether written or verbal, have no more effect than the willingness of parties to implement them, and no more significance than the good faith of parties in entering into them in the first place. Thus, if underlying agreement exists, any texts will follow quickly. If underlying agreement does not exist, no amount of detailed text will bring it about."

"All such agreements are completely dependent on the will to take them seriously, and abide by their terms."

Trying to Understand the World
Luscombe8ASep 17, 2024

"Problems of Plenty" explores if and how the United States justified the destruction and fire-sale of its 150,000 surplus military aircraft after the Second World War, along with those tens of thousands also surrendered by Axis forces. This is the only instance of a superpower massively and voluntarily disarming itself. This doctoral thesis argues that this planned financial write-down, history’s largest, was never justified, justifiable, or authorised by the US Congress.
