John Cleese: I like the idea of bombing someone to stop a war

Link to tweet

John Cleese ✔ @JohnCleese

I like the idea of bombing someone to stop a war

I guess if we can KEEP bombing people, that will ensure world peace.

After all, the first World War was known as the "War to end all Wars"

Then, the moment bombing stopped, World War 2 started brewing

Bombs away !!
