"If ifs and ands were pots and pans" nghĩa là gì?

"If ifs and ands were pots and pans (there'd be no work for tinkers' hands)" = nếu "nếu" và "và" là nồi và chảo, thì người thợ hàn nồi mất việc -> đừng huyễn hoặc, mong ước nữa vì nó chỉ vô ích thôi (đáp trả khi ai đó liên tục nói giá như "if only...").

Ví dụ
ASU just slept walked through the first quarter against USC. They gave up 28 points, and it looked like they were going to suffer an all-time loss. But the defense (hàng phòng ngự) buckled down and only gave up a field goal for the rest of the game. If Jayden Daniels had played I believe Arizona State would have won. But, if “ifs and ands were pots and pans, the whole world would be a kitchen”.

It's a pity that the once undisputed (không cãi được) world leader, along with those who still swear by its "just and fair" (công bằng) foreign policy (chính sách đối ngoại), no longer has an ideological (ý thức hệ) pot to ... . No wonder it has made taking potshots at (chỉ trích) China, blaming it for all the ills in the world, its favorite pastime (trò tiêu khiển). But should ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkers' hands.

A few of the signatories (bên ký kết) appear to link Perry’s alleged (cáo buộc) Illuminati (hội kín được cho là kiểm soát thế giới) membership with the apparent Allah-name burning. This might just about make sense if one was to examine the original purpose of the real Bavarian Illuminati, which was quite anti-religious (phản tôn giáo). Equally, it might make sense if the Illuminati really existed and Katy Perry was a leading member of it. But well, if “ifs” and “ands” were pots and pans…
