China has very likely wargamed this 100s of times. They know that a conventional war is a losing proposition for them and will continue to be so for the next decade. That is why they will absolutely bet on unconventional tactics: Bio, cyber and economic war. All while having the West fight endless asymetric wars of occupation in Afghanistan, Iran or South American jungles.

Let's wargame WW3 in 2025 using Diplomacy. The game limits many things... but let's try to do a decent approximation both for GDP and military power. For example USA GDP is 35 trillion. Military spending is 1 trillion. So US starts with 10 easy SCs (still takes time to get them, representing time spent on industrial production, etc). China GDP is 18 trillion, military spending less than half the US. So china gets 7 SCs unopposed and fewer starting units. Similar calculation for Russia, Europe, India and other players... Middle East is complicated as there is a certain balance of power between Iran, Saudi, Israel, Turkey... but for game reasons we'll treat them as one and keep them neutral at the start. image

Me sorprende que los empresarios españoles no defiendan el derecho de propiedad. Como explicaba Ayn Rand.. si no tienes filosofía política, otros que sí la tienen acabarán imponiéndote la suya. No digo que los empresarios se metan en política, no es su labor. Pero con tantas fundaciones y asociaciones de empresarios... ya podría haber una que defendiese la propiedad privada. Igual que las asociaciones de prensa defiende la libertad de expresión. Esto es la Asociación de la Prensa defendiendo y educando sobre la Libertad de Expresión. En todas las facultades de periodismo se enseña su importancia. ¿Por qué no se enseña la importancia del Derecho de Propiedad en las carreras de empresariales? image

Muchos me preguntan dónde estaría Milei aquí. Filosoficamente es ancap, por lo que personalmente defiende 10-10. En la práctica el programa de LLA es más bien minarquista. Estaría en torno al 8 en socialista-propiedad privada y 7 en autoritario-liberal. Le pongo 7 y no 8 en autoritario-liberal por su política sobre las drogas. Claramente antepone la autoridad a la responsabilidad individual y la libertad en ese caso. image
