Summary

This quote suggests a solution for preventing future wars by promoting financial responsibility. The idea proposed is that countries should not be permitted to engage in warfare until they have fully recovered and financially compensated for the damages caused by previous conflicts. By linking the payment for one war to the involvement in another, the quote encourages nations to reflect on the costs and consequences of their actions, potentially discouraging military aggression and fostering more peaceful resolutions to conflicts.
