People who would deny a country’s right to defend itself.
People who conflate a protracted cold war that uses a tertiary nation as collateral and are willing to send that nations children to the slaughterhouse to further their own interests abroad. Disgusting people
Sorry, but i hate this argument. Any conflict can end if one side accepts the terms of the other side. You can just pick the side you dont like and say "well. They can end it if they do this now", implying all the destruction is their exclusive responsibility. To make a better assesment of who to blame, you need to get to know what their motives are and any and all context involved. This should be the first step for those seeking peace anyway.
Then get yourself some better arguments. You are hurting your cause. More context does not hurt. If you are right, it will prove you right.
