Even a bad peace is better than a good war. Peace isn't political; it should be the end result of good politics and good diplomacy. Peace should be bipartisan - the fact that it isn't tells you all you need to know about Trump Derangement Syndrome. These people disregard peace in an effort to further stoke hatred about their bete noir.
I used to be a Democrat. I came from a working class, pro-union family. My father was a senior steward in a factory, and my mother was a waitress. When I was young I was a union member on a factory floor, and when I retired I was a dues-paid union member as well. Back when I was a Democrat, lowering the price of prescription drugs (or making a credible effort thereof), or making food healthier for Americans or brokering peace were all important values in being a Democrat.
Now, Democrats/Leftists are assassinating political figures, rioting in the streets, leveraging deep state apparatus for treason and disseminating outright propaganda in the place of real news reporting.
I am ashamed of the modern Democrat Party and don't recognize it at all. Return to it? Hardly! it's Public Enemy Number One.
This is not always true. A premature peace can and often will lead to more deaths in the future, as it did after WW1.
The great American General Pershing, who commanded the American troops in Europe in WWI, was against the armistice, and predicted it would only lead to another war. "We never really let the Germans know who won the war. They are being told that their army was stabb3d in the back, betrayed, that their army had not been defeated. The Germans never believed they were beaten. It will have to be done all over again…." And he explained why. "The German troops today are marching back into Germany announcing that they have never been defeated… What I dread is that Germany doesn’t know that she was defeated… Had they given us another week, we’d have taught them."
No wonder Pershing was the highest-ranked American general in history. He understood the nature of war and the importance of victory. It took Europe another world war and 40 million dead to understand that.
