I had hoped to dig spuds, but then it started raining. Is that a prelude to the end?

The Romans used their military to make money. So did about every other empire in earths history. Not saying that's right. I'm not really sure what our goals are. Our military seems more designed to make money for defense companies.

Neat photos of tanks.
The existential war threat is too large and does not register in my brain. So I am not losing sleep. Not until I hear the sirens

So the Russians are shooting Arabs. That will make them like Russians a lot I predict. My issue with the US in the Middle East is that it only has the ability to make them hate the US and now that hate will spread a little further. Russia in Syria was the US lucky day you never win those sort of wars. Let them be, let them flourish or not, and if the oil is cut off the price of oil will stimulate demand and efficiency.
In the 90's there was an article written in the Economist that talked about a US$1/gal gasoline tax in the US and the theoretical outcomes. The long and the short of it was that the US federal deficit would be reduced massively the efficiency from the price signal would reduce demand by, they estimated one Iraq worth of oil. Yes I know that would never happen, but look at the cost in money and lives that the alternative strategy has yielded.
