Maurice, Think outside of the sandbox.

<<aircraft carriers, ICBMs, B52s, and a LOT of other hardware not being involved>> ... and all very much meaningless in the competition sense, only a burden.

<<His religious convictions, his anger, his bloody-mindedness, his sense of purpose, his sense of history, his sense of self, his military back-up, his political capital>> ... these are weaknesses and burdens, obstacles, and traps.

Think around corners.

Chugs, Jay

Hi Mq, as to ... <<If you say countries have experience, which seems silly to me ...>>

... the issue can be settled quite simply, if one can just think the big picture and ponder outside the sandbox, one can simply ask the man on the street in any and all countries the question, as in "sir/madam, do you believe countries have experiences?" ... to which I do imagine that the answer would be, "yes, of course".

If so, if that is the person on the street believe it is so, then it is so, as simple as just that.

Now, on a different issue, that would be, is the perception of the experience correct, not so much as in factual, but as in "truth", we do not know and cannot know. All we know is that the perception of the experience guides action, and that is all we need to know.

Chugs, Jay
