Have to agree with Taurisks well written post. The real action is always going on behind the scenes where the landless peasants don't get to find about it until decades after the event. Look at the WW1 and WW2 for example. I'm sure current events are no different. The trade war is the same as the one that led up to WW2 (https://steemit.com/news/@corbettreport/how-trade-wars-become-hot-wars ), the media and politicians are beating the drums of war-for-profit because they, like everyone else know that the financial world is on the brink and war has been their goto solution for a very long time. They couldn't give a toss for the millions of innocent dead and displaced.
