        Excuse me, the Hidenburg was not merely a blimp, it was a rigid airship. JD could never.

      They are evidently trying to destroy the USA’s traditional alliances and weaken its historical allies. The most immediate benefit is to Russia, but China also benefits while North America and Europe lose out.

        War is good for business.

        And despite the next rule being “peace is good for business”, that’s not actually all that true.

          War is good for business.

          wars fought on far away land, ideally fought by other people.

            Yes, this is crucially what is often forgotten

            If you are actually directly participating in a war, then it’s nothing but destructive

            “War is good for business” would apply mostly to china in this case, and a little to Africa and maybe South America depending on how involved they’re gonna end up being

              Yup, the country whose infrastructure is getting obliterated does not profit from war.

              Care to elaborate on the South America/Africa part?

                Well I’m mostly thinking they’re gonna benefit depending on how ignored they end up being in any potential conflict, as a consequence of not being in that conflict. That’s mostly speculation, I don’t have anything to actually back it up beyond my meanderings

                  I see what you mean, benefitting through not getting involved. I can totally see that going for South America Unfortunately, Central Africa would get deeply pulled into such conflict given its vast rare earth resources, so I doubt they could benefit.
