Movies are just movies

After watching this movie, everyone's first reaction must be to feel the shamelessness of the United States and Britain, and protest against the illegality of war.

But what I want to tell you, as a sovereign country, what is their purpose in doing this, is it just to start a war simply to start a war? Just think it's fun to kill? Or are they doing this to make life worse for their own people in the future, and that the United States is doing this to give up their dollar hegemony? Certainly not. [The things involved here are too complicated, various geopolitics, etc.]

Of course, I am not here to tell you about geopolitics or anything like that. I just want to tell you that the development of human society is still an imperfect world, and things like cheating and cheating do not only happen between people, but also between countries. The same is true between. Some people think that when a country makes a decision, it often chooses one of the two bad decisions that is not too bad, but in fact you are wrong. Often when a country makes a decision, it may appear to have chosen the worse one in hindsight. One, national decision-making is also made by people [whether it is an individual or a group of people], as long as the decision is made by a person, there is no guarantee that it will be 100% correct. Even countries cannot guarantee 100% morality when making decisions.

We can make an assumption [just an assumption, a simplistic assumption, the actual situation may be much more complicated], if country A wants to wage war against country B, the advantage of war is that country A can continue to maintain hegemony, and the country’s economy can In the next few decades, it will develop very well, and the living standards of the people will be greatly improved. However, if a war is not launched, the national strength of country A may begin to decline, and it may even be surpassed by country B. After being overtaken by a lot, the right to start a war is completely reversed, and the right is in the hands of country B, and at this time, in case country B faces the same choice as country A at that time. .

In fact, looking at it in hindsight, many of the decisions of the United States were wrong, and they were trapped in the quagmire of war, but they gave a great power in the East the opportunity to develop, and it has even reached the point where it can challenge his status as the world leader. If you give the United States another choice The opportunity [although the world does not have ifs] I am afraid that the United States will make many different decisions.

Actually, I would like to discuss the Taiwan issue, but this issue is a bit sensitive.
