Martin, I hate to say this, as I believe you have a good heart, and are probably not a person who would race into a physical confrontation yourself, so hardly a person of violence, but knowing how wrong you are over this, without you seemingly knowing yourself, as you seem to have not fairly researched things, every time you claim escalation by "The other side", it is actually you, and everyone believing you, thinking as you do, based on very limited information, who is escalating.
Maybe it makes money in Medium, I don't know, but for sure its as positive an advertisement for war and the escalation of it, that anyone paying billions for it could hope for.
