Russians don’t celebrate Xmas on dec 25, but Jan 7: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_in_Russia

Well, secular society does celebrate on Dec 25. Some even celebrate both cause both are days off :)

War is over if everybody wants it. It is not a tango; it does not take two.

I wish I could believe in the power of small pebbles. But it turns out there are also a lot of people who see themselves as pebbles for the opposite of whatever I want. Including, unfortunately, war.

I believe otherwise: I believe that it takes what it takes, and what it takes is unknown, perhaps due to a lack of trying to determine what it is (it's not exactly a money making undertaking).

In 1971, when this was originally released, it was the US that prosecuted the Vietnam war. North Vietnam wasn't interested in bringing the war to US soil. It was literally a democratic decision that could have ended it.

It would have ended US involvement. The war would have continued, but locally and briefly. The North was backed by China, and they won as soon as the US pulled out.

The US fear was that it might spread to Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, which was realistic... And then that it would spread from there to the rest of the world, which was paranoid, stupid, and greedy (being deliberately influenced by major weapons manufacturers).

This presumes that the US government is actually democratic.

For context, the original slogan was released and advertised in 1971 during the Vietnam War -- which was a war the US prosecuted until 1975 killing scores of people on both sides. This was a war where the White House and Pentagon lied to the American people to keep support for a war we had no hope for winning.

In the end, it didn't matter. The US lost.
