Why isn't Russia instead building bridges, establishing stronger economic bonds, and addressing its own issues inside itself to help increase the quality of life of its people?
And they seem to answer it by saying that Putin and entourage love chess and are really good at it, that's why.
Thus the conclusion is that they are more focused on themselves then what's best for their people.
I don't know if that's true, but it's what I understood from the article.
Russia is going to go to war with Ukraine if Ukraine does things Russia doesn't want them to do. And they told everyone they would ...
How is that not agitating for war?
The fact that inequality could exist without associated deaths doesn't mean that it currently does.
It is very possible that right now, inequality causes deaths, even if it could exist in a different context that didn't, except that's not necessarily the current context.
In our current context, it could be true that if we reduced inequality by distributing less wealth at the top and more at the bottom, that it could prevent many deaths, by providing many billions of people with the means to be mentally and physically healthy as you say.
Thus it's possible in our current context that we'd have the means for everyone to have enough wealth to be mentally and physically healthy, but that the inequality in the distribution of that wealth causes some not to have enough, and thus their premature deaths.
I still just say could, because this too is hypothetical. It is possible without the incentives of massive inequality that the wealth wouldn't be created in the first place, or that any other phenomenon would cause different outcomes.
