The question as always is, as gangster states become larger, they can turn more resources and people to the war effort and become harder to fight. So, do you fight early, when defeat of the foe is easier, or later, when more difficult? See pre ww2 behavior of England, France & Russia vs Germany, also some pre WW1 similarities. Hiding under the covers does not usually work out well in the long run.

Dishonest. <lives have no price in my opinion. I agree> Hypocrisy. They do have a price and people who say they are priceless tend to put a low price on them. Especially other people's lives. Not so much their own hide. OPM they'll spend lots. How much of your own money would you spend to save an African? All your money? Maybe $100? Or 10cents? People do have a price and it's not very high. Raising that price is what's needed. Preferably by two orders of magnitude. Lives do have a price. In sub-sahara it's low. In India it's low. In China it has zoomed since communism was dumped and black and white cats were set loose. In Singapore the price has zoomed from much less than a Kiwi to much more. Swiss are very valuable. The most valuable people are worth $billions. A CEO will set you back $millions in the USA these days. Especially in the J P Morgan rankings. People do have a price and they are quite happy to put a price on their own lives, refusing to work for less than what they think they are worth. They are happy to pay other people much less. Same with you. Mqurice
