“A populace that is otherwise unhappy with its government tends to toe the line if the country is at war. Further, the government has a greater ability to silence domestic detractors in time of war. Thus, the ability to hold power is assured. A state of war is the single most effective tool in silencing dissent in any country. In considering all of the above, not only as a present-day anomaly, but as a recurrent theme throughout history, any discussion of ‘if’ there will be an economic collapse, ‘if’ there will be an increase in the loss of basic freedoms, ‘if’ there will be a ramping up of warfare, becomes a non-starter. It is a question of ‘when.'”
