I don’t really understand this seemingly widespread notion - that is also represented in this comic - that nations “agree” to go to war.

That is not really how it works most of the time, there is usually an aggressor and a victim. It is usually not two powerful leaders butchering their own country’s population, but rather one powerful leader butchering two countries’ population.

I know it’s not the point of this comic, but this really, really annoys me.
