Maybe, but we are yet to see many examples of that. Ukraine might be an example of what a modern war between nation states looks like. USA stuck in the Syrian civil war since 2014 - Present. USA stuck in Yemen since 2002 - Present USA heavily involved in Ukraine 2022- present USA at war with Iraq - 2003 - 2011 USA in Afghanistan from 2001 - 2021 An example like you describe would be USA in 1988, Operation "Preying Mantis", against the Iranian Navy. Lasted 1 day. This seems to be more the exception rather than the rule. China (PRC) has never fought its own war, only supported countries near it (Vietnam and North Korea) by sending troops and supplies. There have been some minor skirmishes but not what most people would classify as actual war. I doubt their first attempt at a full scale war will be described as "efficient, orderly, precise, professional or quick".
Your rebuttal statement....good grief. I'm not your college instructor....you don't have to try to impress me. Just speak plainly, like a casual human You think too linearly, logically, like a programmer. You will have a rather difficult time with the market and its mood and art and timing deviations
Maybe I present clear examples while you struggle to stay on topic for more than a few words before you drift off to something unrelated Thanks for all of the advice on all the reasons I will struggle with the markets but we aren't talking about market moods and timing deviations(????) You keep telling me why I will struggle to trade because of X,Y or Z. Why don't you focus on your crippling inability to answer simple questions or respond in a direct manner? I try to take you seriously but how can I when 90% of what you say devolves into vague aphorisms that mean nothing. This makes me doubt whether you actually know how to trade. So back to main topic and we will see if you actually think things through using logic and reason based on the evidence provided or if you just "say stuff" that you feel Do any of my examples of how modern wars are still lengthy, messy things that are never simple change your previous view that a war between USA and China would be "efficient, orderly, precise, professional and quick." or are those previous wars hindsight bias?
a quarter of federal debts is owed to foreigners, ideally when settles bills, you can write a 8 trillion check. if you don't have that in cash, other form of payments, i.e. gold in fort knox, if any left. i'd ask my social security check lump sum at once, i can take goldbars.
money is money, doesn't make a difference, debt vs equity. communism is an extreme case of equity based economy, the goverment wants to own every businesses regardless of profitability. cheetos wants "profit sharing" in profitable business vis his "fund". milton friedman just wants to loan you money and pay him back with interest.
I was really referring to all the worlds debt (100 Trillion) not just the US. You don't have to write a check to anyone.
