THE 4 MILLION OUNCE BET, page-8748

Actually no. The last thing anybody wants is a war. They kill people, what I am saying is that dictatorships in their end game frequently resort to war. If China has an economic meltdown, which I see as probable then this becomes a very unfortunate potential scenario as opposed to Japan, being a democracy of sorts. I cannot see your point at all, I suspect you are saying China would win a war, no one wins a war. No one wants a war but dictatorships are a frequent precursor. I prefer you didnt try and put words in my mouth and then mount a counter to what never existed so no I dont see a need to qualify my statement at all. IMO China will have an economic meltdown and this has risks for global stability and economics as it is a dictatorship, over and above the damage from a meltdown per se. This has relevance to the POG and therefore WWI shareholders. You may have noticed rising tensions in the South China Sea. If Evergrande is the turning point of a financial meltdown aka Lehman Brothers the outcome may not be minor. I am not commenting on war outcomes or war at all. The concept is repugnant.
