Fascinating story. Now if a bus is headed toward a cliff - - - ?
Staying the course, as you pointed out, will be disaster.
Spend more'n you have - stay the course.
Borrow more'n you can repay - stay the course.
Get the shit kicked out of your undersized, overwhelmed military - stay the course.
It's called "not learning from your own mistakes let alone anyone elses."
