If it's discussed here, I hope that I will no longer be involved in it. The issues are far too complex and obscure for any of us to make
heads or tails of it.

Speak for yourself. You are demonstrably ignorant of economic knowledge.

This makes you perhaps fit to discuss military tactics but certainly not its strategy and you are certainly not capable, due to this ignorance, of discussing foreign policy.

Fortunately, for you and most of the rest of us, economics is mostly not a matter of rocket science. Get a copy of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and read it. He said he wrote it for the country gentleman who was not in a position to know the things the merchants and politicians (well, the merchants anyway), living in the fast moving centres know. There are things you have to know.

The text is probably on line but you likely can get a PB copy in a used bookshop for $5.
