I am borrowing the words from my favorite physicist Wolfgang Pauli when he commented some so ridiculous but deceitful idea.
There are many points to rebuke your GDP argument. I will create a thread specifically talking about GDP. just point out one here.
US and Western economy is typical consumption economy, i.e. over 70% GDP is consumption. How do you handle the "threat"? Are you going to consume more by eating more steaks in restaurants, buying luxury car and luxury clothing to boost your GDP contribution? Is that the way you handle the war?
