But I have lived long enough to know that when we are being told to fear a threat its because someone is waiting in the wings to make loads of money from it.
Or the other alternative is that there is actually a threat. If you really are border line fascist then you would remember your mob in the 30's where the threat wasn't appreciated until almost too late. You don't think Stalin wasn't prepared to steamroll Europe post war if he had kicked the Allies out of Berlin? Xi Jinping has made no secret of his determination to take Taiwan by force and has become a dictator in the process. This is no capitalist plot to make lots of money as they can make more money if there is no conflict. i would be interested to know what your definition is of having lived long enough. If you are in the 55 to 75 demographic then your knowledges of history could do with a bit of a polish.
