I have always been amazed by those who continue to insist that a war fixes an economy. I once asked one of these true believers if he could imagine two large family farms bordering each other with each family having six young adult sons and six daughters and with outbuildings, livestock, tractors etc. He said yes he understood farming and he could imagine that. I said okay suppose something happens to start a feud between the two families and they pull out their deer rifles, shotguns etc. and start shooting at each other. One family sends a son over to burn down the other families biggest barn where all the most valuable harvested crops are stored and in the process of burning it he is killed. In retaliation for the barn burning the other family burns down the home of the dead son’s family. After a little while of listening to all this he got the picture finally.
War destroys lives, and property and produces nothing. How can anyone believe it will rehabilitate a wrecked economy? It is equivalent to thinking that the best thing to do if you are sick is to shoot yourself in the foot.
It’s great for the general store owner, who now gets to sell all the needed supplies to both families to rebuild.
It’s not so great for the ones to suffer it, though.
its as asinine as the obama policy of getting ppl to destory perfectly working cars so that they could replace it with new cars
