I would like to thank those blogger friends who have shared their thought about political and economic interest that are fueling wars in East Europe and Middle East. Despite it is easy to understand that many people don't like to talk about this hot topic, I think it's time to write down a few thoughts about predators interested in starting and maintaining wars.
The main problem, in my opinion, is that the high level of weapons & missiles spending is strictly related to the fact that the military industrial complex is privatized in a widely known part of the world. In this perspective, it's no coincidence that private arms manufacturers sell most of their products to governments, whose policy-makers behave as puppets.
But that's not all, as coincidentally the main investors of arms manufacturers are the top ten world investment management companies. The question is who will be the next? Moldova, Georgia, Taiwan or Iran? War spending is the main mechanism for increasing the concentration of capital among the 0.05 percent richer people. This means the continuation of inequality.
...there is plenty of money to be made with war!
ReplyDeleteThis is disastrously true!
DeleteYou hit exactly the point with your words. It is a tragedy and injustice that money is in the foreground. While people have to suffer and die to make other people rich through weapons.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post.
I wish you a very good weekend :)
Completely agree with you, my friend. Actually, the more wars go on, the more richer people become richer.
DeleteThanks for your sharing your thoughts!
Giorgio, the truth is that wars are a powerful business. This is undeniable!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the situation in Europe, the main problem is Russia! If it weren't for Putin and his sick, crazy aspirations, the situation would be calmer. Everywhere Moscow puts its dirty paws there are problems, danger and tragedies!
Giorgio, my friend, I salute you and I wish you a good weekend!
With regards to the Ukraine-Russia war in East Europe, I think a peace agreement may be signed when the new US president gets in office.
DeleteWe wait and see!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, dear Anna :-)
