Words of War

We start with a few words about real estate and investing:

“Buy land. They ain't making any more of the stuff.” - Will Rogers

Moving on to politics we have:

Politics is and always has been a blood sport.  If you're not prepared to take it on at that level you have no business getting involved in it. - Karl Denninger

Combine those and you get:

The whole history of international relations is about one side establishing borders and another trying to cross them. Both literally and figuratively. There has been no century when borders have remained immutable, at least in the spaces where international politics were concentrated at the time. And it is clear that redrawing the dividing lines has never been without the use of force, sometimes on a very large scale. - Fyodor Lukyanov
