> every nuclear power depends on their free ports to store artworks

Am I misunderstanding this? Why would artwork stop a war? If I’m fighting a war, I would not flinch at destroying eg the Mona Lisa, and I’m fairly certain heads of state wouldn’t either.

Not neutral?

Sorry, I'm genuinely really trying to understand what you're saying here. Can you elaborate a bit? Are you asking if I personally am neutral? Are you meaning to say that your comment should have said "neutral power" instead of "nuclear power"? Are you trying to say something else? I just cannot understand this thread. Do you genuinely believe that art can stop war? how?

Yes, nations go to war against neutral banking nations all the time, but not without withdrawing their artwork first. /s

I could elaborate the entire context of my past comments, but that wouldn’t be communicating, that would be writing a dictionary.
