Pretty stupid generalisation. Terrorism comes from many areas including governments. Putin's attack on citizens in the UK was state terrorism against his own people.

Did you read the comment? It looks like you did not. I am in favour of removing all armies across the world. Please do not make explosive statements without taking the time to understand the conversation.

You mean... The US and Russia?

Not even China does this.
