If politicians want to declare war on other nation, how about sending them to the front to lead, just like in the old days, when Kings and Generals did?

I considered giving up my TV due to the paucity of good programs. But if that was ever on TV I would pay double the licence fee without a murmur.

My mate used to say working class men have two roles, to fight rich men's wars and build rich men's walls. Yep

Better yet, have them fight it out in hand to hand combat.

That's what I meant, just put in less accurate terms. 😉

@Veteran229 sure. Let the warmongers kill one another while the rest of us live our lives without dealing with their B.S.

The only thing wrong with that idea is that the Kings and Generals were well guarded and protected whilst the rest of their armies slaughtered each other.
No, IF any Leader, King, etc, etc, wants to go to war then bring in the very old Leader versus Leader rule and the winner takes all, No designated Champion/s, just the Leaders in a One on One battle to the death.

That's what I meant. Thank you for putting it in better terms than mine.

@Paddypereira No probs there my friend, only too glad to help.

Not always the case....if we go back in history, Kings did lead their armies and were often killed in battle. 1066 when Harold was killed and William became king and changed British history is one case, and later Richard 111 was killed in battle in 1485 and thus ended the Wars of the Roses and Henry V11 started the Tudor dynasty. I would love to see today’s Politicians do hand to hand combat....Trump v Putin would be something!

@Marionville Not sure. I think that Trump ver. Putin would be over in about two seconds. Would love to see what odds the bookies tried to give though.

@Fernapple Clearly Putin would be favourite....Trump would be a no show!, That man has a yellow streak right through him!

@Marionville Yes you could have, Trump shows up, fifty to one, Trump lasts two seconds, hundred to one, Trump lasts five seconds, thousand to one, Trump wins, "We don't give odds on that."

I would vote for that!

@Marionville people would see that better if it wasn't covered by all the orange?

@Marionville Donald, the duck and run, tRump has more yellow in him that an egg yolk I reckon.

@Marionville Yes, that might be so BUT very few rulers in history ACTUALLY fought side by side with their armies and even then they were very heavily guarded as well.
