Also, "We've often successfully pressured allies to engage in aggression with us" isn't much of a deflection.

Fine. But the US has, by far, been the primary actor in this.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

I'm going to be honest: this is pretty much how the USA has been for my entire adult life, as we now witness their fourth* war in the Middle East.

(* Iraq, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran -- not counting bombing several other countries.)

A prolonged war in the Middle East will be bad for your portfolio. Here’s how to prepare There’s no way of knowing how long this war will last. Investors must be flexible and understand that it could get worse before it gets better

At least the business class is focused on the right things.

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

Always unlimited money for war.

It's both fraud and an admission that they do the most boring research with very little original thinking involved.
