Junto: Prepare For WAR?!

​
​Small gatherings, focused on “intellectual” discussions of the hot button issues of the day. Be prepared to listen, share, have your ideas challenged. ​no wallflowers allowed.

​Topic for today is:

​Should the world prepare for war? With rising economic conflict and ongoing war in Ukraine, is the best way to avoid major great-power conflict to prepare for it?

Companies like Anduril & Palantir are seeking to revamp US military capabilities for this stated reason.

Europe, including Germany, are increasing their military spending. Houthis are still blocking the Suez canal (40% of EU trade flows) to western ships, while allowing safe-travel for Chinese, Iranian, and Russian ships.

Is conflict over Taiwan coming? inevitable? avoidable?
