“Any country that is considering waging war against another country should first consider that the loser is almost always the country that runs out of money first. No venture is more costly than warfare. The EU and the US are bankrupt now. Those presently living in those locales may escape actual duty in the military, but they will unquestionably be expected to pick up the tab through taxation. Those who presently feel that their obligations to their governments are already barely manageable might wish to consider what they will be, both during and after a major war.”
