Variation of an Old Joke

 Don't quite remember the old one, but you might, after reading the following.

What will happen in the Russia-Ukraine war?

There are two possibilities-either Russia will win, or Ukraine will win.

A. If Russia wins, they may stop all exports to Europe, as revenge. B. If Ukraine wins, they will reopen all the ports that Russia has captured.

If A, then Europe will be starved of gas, and a few other things. If B, they will have to return all unused arms supplied by the west through those ports.

If starved of gas, European countries may colonise some countries which have sunshine, like they did once before. If arms are returned to the Western countries, the arms producers have to find new clients, maybe in the Middle East or Africa, like they did sometimes earlier.

and so on. The wars will continue, if not in the present sector- Russia-Ukraine, somewhere else.

So why worry? Produce arms if you can, and sell them too, and you will be fine.
