Reality is more complicated than the strawman you were putting into someone else's mouth? Ya don't say.... I mean that's sort of the point of a strawman like the one you were making.

To back that claim you're going to have to rely on theoretical escalations outside that conflict... And that's not what "careening towards" means.
