(13,216 posts)But there have been more than a few "adventures" that quite a few counties, including our own (mmm... Halliburton's plan to break sell off oil fields in Iran come to mind) have engaged in over the past century or two that leave the same sense of sick anticipation as a bystander watches it unfold.
Especially since one knows that the person's who are pushing for War know full well that lives and resources are going to be lost for their ambition or ego or profiteering, and don't care.
We won't be spilling blood in this, I think. But it will be a waste of resources, and with the Russian love of asymmetrical warfare and fingers in our country politics and infrastructure, we probably won't come out of this unscathed.
I was just expressing sympathy with the OP. War is not something to look forward to.
