The Blood Business of War
War!!! As old as the first conflict in human history, very deadly, viscous, and trust that it is very profitable for a few people and government. It is a game of profit and loss, the loss of lives and the gains of money. Wars have existed for a very long time and governments have always wanted to rule the world so they spend billions and trillions of dollars into their military. Governments of countries are willing to spend billions to fund the arsenal and training of their military. The United State as at 2016 had poured over $3.2 trillion into war and still go on to borrow money or print money should in case there is a war. Is the government this rich to fund wars, and how do they make this money? Well in most cases, the government fund wars with tax payer’s money.
Every government is willing to fight war for supremacy, the only irony here are innocent citizens and soldiers who lose their lives. A lot of people even in the midst of the death make a lot of money, in the US, over 21,000 people made millions from World War 1. A lot of people make money from war for example, Coca-Cola made money from supplying the Soda in World War 2, Dupont made a profit of 900% during World War 1 selling explosives during the war. KBR made about $40 billion thanks to the Iraq war.
Who is behind most wars?
Simple answers, government and war profiteers. There is always conflict around the world and it is no doubt that citizens of this countries never want to go to war since they will always be the victims but some people are always the masterminds of this wars. They use their contacts to create a fire in the heart of political figures, military men and also uses the media to stir what isn’t expected. Their major goal is to make sure a war happens so they can profit from it.
