You've got me by 30 years, but I agree wholeheartedly on that not being a good way to live. Problem is, we likely aren't going to get a choice. Or actually, our choice is in how we deal with Ukraine and if we elect Trump. A signal to China that the west is feckless and an election of America First = America Alone, and in 10-20 years, we'll be in a new cold war whether we like it or not.
