I find it hard to believe, but apparently there's a
non-trivial possibility that Monkey Boy will actually order
an invasion, and if he does, there's a non-trivial possibility
that it will have catastrophic results, and a lot of stuff
that's now nailed down will come loose and blow in the wind.
Those who are interested in such things would want to be ready
for that, partly by getting their advertising out now, i.e.
the connections between Monkey Boy's economics, Monkey Boy's
war, and the putative catastrophe.

Remember, Monkey Boy will be 'way out on a limb on this one.
The war is his idea and his baby.  Devil baby.
