      Yes, this is crucially what is often forgotten

      If you are actually directly participating in a war, then it’s nothing but destructive

      “War is good for business” would apply mostly to china in this case, and a little to Africa and maybe South America depending on how involved they’re gonna end up being

        Yup, the country whose infrastructure is getting obliterated does not profit from war.

        Care to elaborate on the South America/Africa part?

          Well I’m mostly thinking they’re gonna benefit depending on how ignored they end up being in any potential conflict, as a consequence of not being in that conflict. That’s mostly speculation, I don’t have anything to actually back it up beyond my meanderings
