I agree with you on this but with some nuance. This thinking is correct and should be used on individual level. However, time has shown us that most humans are stupid and will resort to herd mentality. So, the pride quickly turns into nationalism.

We are talking about the war/defence industry which is a much newer thing when countries started selling weapons and such to other countries on a large scale and during their own non-war times, like the last 50 years of American history. If countries sold weapons to each other during WW2, it was because they were involved in the war themselves. Nowadays, it is just selling weapons and watching others burn each other down.

Predictions have been going on since forever about so many things. Doesn't make it any truer. China is going to annex Taiwan, Russia is going to attack Europe, Iran is weeks away from nukes. Funnily, there are no predictions about USA doing stuff.

Everything will crash as a panic knee jerk reaction but the real assets will recover much quicker.

This is the whole point of resistance. Standing up to wrong is resistance, even if it needs sacrifice

I am sure most people during Hitler's rule were against the genocide but did it matter? Complicity is support.

Not really. I have taken really good care of it except for 2 one month periods where I broke the back and front glass. Yeah, I really did need a cover when I took it off for the feel.

Anyways, it has been a year or two since the incidents and the phone is still working perfectly fine.

Not Euros, Euros will crash with the dollar. Buy something of real value, like commodities or real estate.

The smart ones. Not the people who have invested in Nvidia in the last 2-4 years.

It is a war industry for the Western countries because the war is never on their soil. It is a defence industry for everyone else.

Is Trump stupid? Doesn't he have any advisors? He could have easily harassed and forced them to resign or get them killed in a few months but he decided to make it obvious by firing her within 24 hours of a bad data release.
