Since the war is over, it’s not profitable for the elite anymore. They know what is their next move after the war. Yup, money, they’re now looking at money, they know money has the same properties to a world war, they also know they do not like to take risk, so now they tell all you idiot to take risk that they don’t want to take and deceive you to believe high risk high return, you’re real idiot if you didn’t learn from the previous lesson, you’re idiot if you didn’t learn from the world wars, you’re idiot to take risk that they tell you to take while they making maximum profit taking no risk at all.
In terms of war, well you’re right about that, but when it is about economy and investment, that’s just how it is; high risk means there is likely to be high profit. It is not everyone that invests in a high risk investment that is going to make profit, some people will face the high risk and some will profit, everybody is not going to win, except those that knows what they are doing. Even at that, no matter how good you are, there are still going to be times that you’re going to face the risk and lose.
So, you misinterpreted it, because in terms of economy and investment, it is high risk and high reward. But it is not the same for war, and war is totally different from investments, it is a thing of death and is a very bad thing. Only stupid people pray for war.
