Here's a statement that neither dissidents nor little pinks will want to hear:

1. The Russia-Ukraine war funneled Europe's money back to America;
2. The Iran wars funneled Middle East money back to America;
3. An East Asia war would funnel all East Asia's money back to the West.

From a selfish perspective, war doesn't hurt America. When wars happen, non-core assets depreciate rapidly—decision-makers all understand this. Little pinks don't understand because they have neither money nor assets.
