GUEST,Grishka BS: One Giant Step for Mankind - or what? (115* d) RE: BS: One Giant Step for Mankind - or what? 13 Aug 15


The GUEST of 12 Aug 15 - 03:25 PM seems to be the same one as before and hit the point again. (Please choose nicknames for easier reference.)

More such reasons:

3) Even if you "win", you must be on your watch permanently (see Palestine), whereas a good peace makes for good business and wealth.

4) Your former enemy may one day be needed to fight a new common one, and may refuse.

5) Once the nationalistic mood has calmed down, your (the government's) internal opposition may blame you for ruining your country's reputation.

6) If you accuse other countries/regimes of atrocities, they can point back.

7) If you seek allies on grounds of common moral values, they will be skeptical.

Etc.

Among the few real winners of WWII were businesses in Japan and West Germany.
