RE: Why do some people choose war over diplomacy?

I think we're not as wise as we think, or I like to think politicians knows what ticks the boxes of the people under them. They use these tactics to their advantage. I can tell you for a fact that it happens in many third world countries, like in Nigeria. Politicians knows how to run the game, they know how to manipulate people into voting them, and they use this same playbook all the time since 1960.
