These conflicts are unlikely to become hot. Maybe some cyber security is worth doing. But, winning over China as only Trump would say, is more about economics

These conflicts are unlikely to become hot. Maybe some cyber security is worth doing.
But, winning over China as only Trump would say, is more about economics than anything else, isn't it?
Ie. a big thriving economy and by implication a high quality of life gives power and influence -- how does military R&D factor into that?
- manigandham 8y agoUnlikely does not mean impossible. There are global tensions with 2 world powers that are now both led by dictators and smaller conflicts happening everywhere. Hoping that another major war won't happen isn't a good plan.
- jopsen 8y agoI'm merely arguing that like the cold war, these conflicts are likely to be determined by economic might, rather than armed conflict.
