The CARES Act is estimated to have cost $2 trillion. Countries are not going to go to war over such a petty amount of money. The costs of such a war would be 100x that amount, easily.
- hertzrat 6y agoThe cost of two first world nuclear armed nations going to war can't really be measured in dollars. Even if nukes didn't come into play, I'm listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History episodes on the War in the Pacific right now. The death tolls and misery is just staggering, and he hasn't even gotten to the firebombing where I'm at yet.
