Thanks!
You make a good point. There have been wars throughout time where the underdogs won for various reasons. As in, one side is fighting for something - often religion, freedom, or some cause the soldiers believe was noble. And, I could see the money printer weakening citizen's resolve (causing a weakened army).
It'd be interesting to see if there have been any books or studies that tracked wars and how often the side with the least money won. Maybe money has much less to do with it then one would think.
You know, what. I think you're on to something. I think this study should be conducted regardless because if we look at Afghanistan/IRAQ war, the Taliban are the CLEAR winners while the USA pumped trillions in. Obviously, it would be considered anti-American, but I see this as something to be studied as something neutral to see its impact of how money(used in war for tools, planes, tanks guns etc) isn't the tool that should be used to resolve conflicts. Or even argue that money won't buy it even.
