Oh I agree on that. Sometimes I wonder if we are goading them into attack to justify an overwhelming counter attack. As another thread suggested, China wouldn’t care if it started WWIII if it meant protecting Iran.Point of interest. Someone told me not long ago, an economics scholar, The only thing that will get the world economy back on track would be a WWIII scenario that would level the playing field.

You said, “Someone told me not long ago, an economics scholar, The only thing that will get the world economy back on track would be a WWIII scenario that would level the playing field.”

And that is what I said many years ago in my high school American History class after a study of economic downturns in the United States that I wrote a paper on.

A heck of a way to run a railroad isn’t it, an economy that thrives on war? If we have the productive capacity for massive destruction of produced goods in war we have vast overcapacity in peace.
