Have you ever gone through a whole a week without eating anything? Have you seen your kids go through that?

If don't, then I will have to say you got no idea about what you are talking about..

> Have you ever gone through a whole a week without eating anything? Have you seen your kids go through that

Have you? And did you murder your neighbor to steal their food? Did you believe the best course of action was to fight your neighbors?

Your ridiculous analogy doesn't even apply to the US, one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In your imagined scenario, are they the poor starving family who must kill and steal to survive?

Dude. Think hard before getting backed into absurd metaphors.

>Have you?

I haven't, and that is why I am not making higher-than-you, virtuous claims about how I would act in that situation. Maybe you should do the same.

>Your ridiculous analogy doesn't even apply to the US, one of the wealthiest countries in the world

And where did that wealth come from? Sure, you have smart people, but it also require a functioning economy to mobilize and convert all those talent into wealth. If a external entity can choke your economy and if your government just stand-by, virtue-signaling to people such as yourselves, your wealth will disappear in no time. BOOM! Back to zero...

Then maybe stop making up hypotheticals that don't apply to me, you, or any of the nations involved? What are you hoping to achieve here? "Let's assume we live in a Mad Max world, would you steal all the women and water"?

> And where did that wealth come from? Sure, you have smart people, but it also require a functioning economy to mobilize and convert all those talent into wealth

So you think the US doesn't have a functioning economy or smart people, and therefore must resort to war to get their resources?

> BOOM! Back to zero...

So, in your bizarre logic, it's best to resort to theft and murder?
