              I don’t think China or india collapsing would make American billionaires scared. That’s a lot of new people to exploit

              So you think the civil collapse of two governments with over 2.8 billion citizens collectively would be a good thing because it would make improve the logistics of trade? /gen

                  Yeah I got that but I’m trying to determine whether or not you think that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
