Comments

World War I started with treaties that should have covered economic isolation instead of declarations of war.

World War 2 started with starving Germans in 1918 who were angry in 1933 and they elected the NAZIs.

Our current threats from Russia and China could end if we unleashed Oil and Natural Gas production in the US.
