Also, I think a lot gets made out of a little sometimes. For example, does the American military have a plan or have they had to game out thoughts for invading Canada or Iran or India? Yes.

Now, does the presence of plans or wargames mean that they actually want and aspire to do those things? No. Stability benefits everyone, and it would take a LOT to convince another geopolitical player that they need to throw around their weight.
Options is gambling, if you're going to gamble, only do so with a small amount of your portfolio. Patiently waiting for stocks with good financials to hit bargain prices, purchasing those stocks and selling them at technically weak points or points of strong resistance like triple top rejections or breaks of bullish trend lines is how you will make and keep wealth consistently. Warren buffet's done this and it's worked out pretty well for him. Over 95% of your portfolio should be in regular trades with no time expiry.
