Jeremy Corbyn hopes that all military alliances will be eliminated in the interests of world peace.

Jeremy Corbyn hopes that all military alliances will be eliminated in the interests of world peace.

I disagree with that view -- I think that that would not be an effective way to achieve peace. In particular, I support the existence of NATO.

But his view is not an absurd or outrageous one. For instance, he rejects the claim, which originates from Putin, that NATO is to blame for Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

I am sure I have other specific disagreements with Corbyn. Complete agreement would be amazingly unlikely, and too much to hope for. Therefore, I won't stop supporting Corbyn over inevitable specific disagreements. I continue to believe that he would be a far better leader for the UK than any of the current Tory or Labour leaders.

In my view, we should not do any in-vitro fertilization until Earth's population is considerably smaller, and decreasing.
