KUROKYIAMANSA DISORDER AS ONE OF WAR DISORDERS

§ 1. Preamble
If wars that occur on earth were to take place between only two rival nations that are at loggerheads, the stronger nation will win and the weaker nation being subdued shall accept defeat and it citizens continuing living their lives in peace with the stronger nation. Such wars could easily be capable of being “contained” in the world and then, there shall be order and peace once again. Because the war will be quick and it shall take a shorter period. But history tells us a different story, for the wars between two rival nations that went on in the past had shown that usually a third nation (to be called “parasite”) had joined this particular war uninvited and this eventually escalated the smaller war into becoming a World War.

These wars that were fought by these rival nations (to be called “parent nations”) were translated into a bigger war that only became possible because of the parasite nation's inappropriate behaviour. This could be characterised to be a kind of “war disorder” due to the citizens' insincerity with selves or a general psychiatric disorder of their leaders that made them initiated the joining in. For only barbarian nations joined a war that they had nothing to gain or having been not invited. For these folks, war was a “hobby” where they practised properties stealing from distance lands and captured their young girls and boys as booty. War was legitimate to these primitive men and a “distinctive mark” of being civilised. Such kind of naive thinking is not what the men of the modern civilised world visualise war—the hobby of the barbarian nations!

§ 2. Definition
This disorder concerns the improper manner (i.e., “confusion”) where a sovereign nation jumps into an on-going war when it has not been invited by both nations and, moreover, has nothing to do with the disorder that occasioned the original war. The reason for participating in this particular war may be because the “parasite” nation would be looking for frivolous power or with the intention of acquiring something valuable such as oil, gold, or territory that do not belong to this third nation. But this nation wants to utilise this opportunity of the neighbour misfortune to steal this neighbour's property. This illegitimate entrance of joining/declaring war could escalate more trouble whereby other neighbours with interest in the neighbour at war (i.e., parent nation/s) could also declare war on the “parasite” nation (i.e., third nation).

Kurokyiamansa disorders have been the root of the cause of world wars in the world and many other unpopular wars that the world had suffered. It has been the “genetic characteristic” of most European nations (i.e., Homo sapiens Albinos) to deal with one another since time immemorial for originating hostilities among themselves. One can mention the Swedish manner of entering the Thirty Years' War, which occurred in the old Germany territories that resulted in extreme devastation on the whole region. The USA and other nations entering the Second World War was one classic example with the exception of the fact that alliance was needed at that time to bring down the regime that became treacherous to its neighbours and to the whole world at last. Several examples of these disorders could be given as producing major wars in the world and other less mentioned wars that had taken place in diverse parts of the planet earth.

These wars became the wars that also gave birth to many other smaller wars fought in the territories in the hottest spots in the Middle East so many years ago. In a simple explanation, it could be asserted that two nations do not like each other or are in disagreements. But instead of allowing them to trash their own matters themselves, here there is a third nation that expressed sympathetic support to one of them such as the enemy of one of these nations at war becomes the enemy of third nation. Without this childish manner of supporting wars and conflicts, there could never have been a major war or World War in the world.

§ 3. Symptoms/Characteristics
The parasite nation that declares war on the parent nation that is in war with its neighbour usually has armaments (large accumulation of weapons) that it wants to sell or explore its capability by using them. Therefore, the motive of entering this particular war becomes “greed.” It is a manner where parasite nations obtain money (extreme fortunes, i.e., think about the Second World War and those nations that made money) from their weapons they manufacture themselves. Usually, they are rich nations that solicit for frivolous “power” or “supremacy” but at the same time have in mind a clear objective what they want from this war they join uninvited. They might have entered because they had “stealing mission” concerning certain properties in mind or force confiscation of the parent nation's property. It could be this nation's own property that had been stolen by the parent nation but now since this nation is at war (a misfortune) they take the advantage to grab their property back.

One characteristic of such inappropriate war disorders may be that the leader of the parasite nation may be having a serious psychiatric disorder such as Hannibal Odyssey Complex disorder or Absolute Zenith Complex Disorder, or having the Winmust Syndrome. These illnesses (often make leaders to have no contact with reality) could compel the leaders to engage in dubious wars that may have dire consequences for its country's fortune and the health of their innocent citizens. The symptoms of exhilaration to wage such kinds of wars could mean that the leaders have no equilibrium minds so then reality is far fetch. Therefore, they could push their nations and the little resources they have to fight battles that do not belong to them or have nothing to do with their security. The “super race” ideology has often been seen to have been a backbone behind many of these unnecessary wars that the Homo Sapiens Albinos fought in their vast territories, especially when one of the “superior groups” has been attacked by a parasite nation that they think should not have been done so.

Psychiatric illnesses suffered by their leaders were never acknowledged publicly by them and so their people suffered unnecessarily in these extensive wars that had been documented in history books being seen as heroism instead of many groups' insecurity with selves in their habitation. Wars were fought through directions given to these madmen in dreams, imaginations, and hallucinations. But the interpretations were that they were being guided by some powers that inhabited in the outside planets in the Solar system.

The action by a parasite nation may also have to do with Filialdumm where both the leadership and the citizens of a nation are already obsessed with “superiority” or “supremacy” in their surrounding territories. In this case, due to the irrationality that their political pursuits are characterised, they could act in unison without giving much careful consideration. This could affect the citizens for they could also be compelled to suffer the “Norman psychosis”, which is automatic response to engage in war and other barbaric conspiracies without analysing the consequences especially when these citizens had assimilated the said ideologies of “superiority” or “super race” myths.

In short, such inappropriate entering into war which indicates the country and the leadership readiness for war at any time means that the Filialdumm state was characteristic with the political pursuits which made the level of acting in any venture irrational.

§ 4. Case Studies
(a) The classic examples were the wars fought during antiquity where nations entered wars because the other neighbour had been attacked by a rival nation. Here though the information we have on these wars is scanty, it could be said that many nations were not organised properly in those days that resulted in confusion or group psychosis to act barbaric in connection with a neighbour's attack. We all know many of these leaders in antiquity were not healthy for they depended on information ascertained from dreams and hallucinations, which consisted of their gods/God intention to engage in war. Therefore, wars that were fought by them encompass matters of trivial importance, which could be that another neighbour had been attacked by a rival nation or is preparing to make attacks.

(b) The Thirty Years Wars, which occurred in central Europe on the German Territories when Gustav Adolfus through Hannibal Odyssey Complex joined and fought on behalf of his relatives in Germany though he was not, invited.

(c ) In the Middle East there are two rival groups of people or nations trying to deal with each other through constant confusion and bloodbath to live peacefully in the end. But we all know that there are “parasite” nations (i.e., third nations) who through confusions and also their leaders who are not in contact with reality that are always threatening one of these rival groups or “parent” nation.

§ 5. Analysis and discussion
Kurokyiamansa disorder is experienced when a nation joins an on-going earthly war between two rival nations that it has not been invited. This disorder stems from the fact that the leader of this third party or nation may be suffering from some illness or due to inappropriate behaviour it has joined to gain something from the war. As war is costly, nations only join if only they could have something back to pay their soaring debt at the end of the war. Otherwise it would stupid to sacrifice the lives of the nation's citizens. If we are hypothesising here that all leaders that join war that they have not been invited are having psychiatric disorders, it is because it has been discovered on sundry occasions in the past that war is dangerous and terrible and so it is only a sick leader that shall send his “children” into danger when there is nothing to be gained in the end.

For a long time the world had permitted war to go on unhindered instead of sounding the bad effects these wars have on ordinary human beings and the people of the world as a whole. War should not be engaged in like games to settle cases or disagreements. The manner war are created and fought in this world portrays the fact that human beings are not serious in the manner the deal with one another in such matters of frivolous importance. The idea that some nations are powerful and could take arms and do whatever they want in this world should be given a careful consideration in modern civilisation. It is the used of their weapons, which they obtain revenue from that, makes them, do what they do. But we must understand that there are other lucrative businesses that they could invest their money in, instead of the instigated manipulated wars where young boys and girls are sent to the field to be slaughtered by callous men. The latter think about themselves only and care less what other weak and poor nation's people go through. As civilised men inhabiting the free world, we must sound it clear the evils war bring and to do our utmost best to resist the greedy and most madmen in the world that play with the lives of their subjects and other less powerful nations. The war disorder must be taken serious by all persons in the world so that we can now leave the barbaric wars, which we inherited, from the legacy of the barbarous nations of antiquity. The war disorders must be taken serious and, moreover, they should be investigated by nations that believe in the true freedom of the citizens of the world.

§ 6. Conclusion
Anything that deviates from the normal always has something that is associated with it as disordered or abnormal. This is a common axiom which proofing is not required in the world of civilised men. The manner war is joined by certain nations when they had not been attacked or hurt but join only because a rival nation is attacked is not seen to portray maturity. The confusion involved in this manner of settling cases and disagreements show that there is something wrong with the leadership as well as the people or the subjects being compelled to wage this war. The need exists that civilised men disagree with all those that have knowledge of making weapons and believe that it is right to fight in a barbaric manner on this earth or to spread their weapons to the world and obtain money through the misfortune of others. The war disorders are real and it is left to the next generation and those honest people at present that we recognise it as so, so that appropriate measures would be taken sooner or later to deal with it in a mature manner.
