The debate is not whether the glass is half empty or full when it's clearly nearly empty.
5+5 is clearly 10 but folks on here are trying to say no it's 12 because Trip7 was wrong about TA1
Lastly, if you're saying the 70s was really really tough but not an epic disaster well you and plenty of experts having a differing opinion on what's an epic disaster:
The quote about recovery being long is where we disagree. Once the shooting war is done and there is peace it is in the entire planet's interest to pitch in to help the recovery. Our allies WILL send minesweepers, the gulf oil states WILL step in to cooperate with the oil supplies returning to market, China WILL send proxies to help in their own interest to keep imports flowing. I think even the eco crowd will so opportunities to reduce dependence on oil. etc.
