Sure, I understand that, but we have had two world wars in the last century. And Obama did make that speech, he did post the marines in Australia, Panetta did say 60% of the pentagons assets were being moved to the WEST-PAC, we are building our largest military base in our history in Gaum, and Chinese military expenditures are on steroids! Also, Russia and China are somewhat fed up with US aggression and have blocked every attempt at the UN for authorization to use military force in Syria. And damage to economic future? We're in huge trouble already. WW11 proved how beneficial war can be to the economy. Many analysts have argued it was the biggest factor to get us out of the depression. Corporate America loved it, it produced the MIC that 15 years later Eisenhower was warning us about and profits were so good the three big automobile manufacturers one year made no autos at all, too busy making tanks, jeeps, trucks, etc. and now the MIC that Eisenhower warned us of, has indeed become too big to fail with a huge appetite, satisfied only by war and we have the perfect scenarios before us now!
