RE STEINGART
Steingart has a passage p 163 echoing my remark, "Never in the history of human conflict...."
"BUSINESS EXECUTIVES ARE LOATH TO DISCUSS..."
"Never before in history has there been such a massive transfer of knowledge--without war or conquest-- from one social group to another."

See DK's current post another significant aspect of the errors of policy from mid century
"Billions of dollars worth of jet aircraft, tanks, artillery and much more went from the US, the Soviets and other nations to India and Pakistan, Egypt and Israel, Iran and Saudi Arabia, North and South Korea, North and South Vietnam, and elsewhere. Occassionally this weaponry was used in local wars." DK (my underlining)
Liberal international trade expansionism, in weapons and strategic and commercial patronage; and communist influence commercial expansionism patronage, correspondingly.
Call it the cold war boom of The Rest that served the long term interests of neither the US nor USSR.
In fact, it has killed off remaining hegemonic opportunities of each, to some extent, and will lead to their disadvantage, in any conflicts, economic and military, going forward.
Think: "...and much more..." DK
Think: much, much, much, more, really.
