Re-unifying nations is only M&A

“With the exception of warfare, [M&A] is how assets are transferred on this planet”, said Chairman and CEO of Vista Equity Partners, Robert F. Smith.

It is plausible that Russia and China employ a Merger and Acquisition strategy in re-unifying Ukraine and Taiwan respectively, rather than warfare.

Warfare suits the United States well, for 20% of its annual military expenditure is towards the procurement of weapons.

That’s a $100 billion which gets paid to a defense industry that is searching for sales especially after withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Can you imagine what the defense industry lobbyists are saying in Washington ?
