RE: Can the US Just Stop Fighting War?
And the bigger price. War begets more war.
The idea of taking something from someone else is a lose-lose proposition.
The idea of making something for both people is a win-win proposition.
Person A makes a thing. Person B wants it.
If person B goes to war to get it, then we are forgoing person A making more. Further, person B isn't making anything productive either. Not to mention the animosity built up.
Person A makes a thing. Person B wants it.
Then person B can learn to make the thing too. So, there will be 3 items.
Or person B learns to make something person A wants and trades, again there is 3 items.
3 items is far better than 1 item. Or, as war usually turns out, 0 items.
In the modern era, war is not even a reasonable concept. The world has gotten small in a hurry. Taking from another isn't even conceptually possible without consent. Take Crimea for example.
