Can someone explain to me how bombing Iran benefits the US financially? I mean this is on HN so does that mean they have some Shia AI that we can benefit from?

- fragsworth 7y agoIt doesn't benefit the general public, but it directly benefits Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, and others. It's not clear to me how much influence they have in this.
- henvic 7y agoStatism in all of its vestments (like militarism) is not about benefiting citizens (of the USA or anywhere else) but about benefiting groups of interests of powerful people that gravitate around the state apparatus. Democracy isn't liberty, and these so-called wars aren't wars but massacres sponsored by the state benefiting only a few companies sometimes referred to as "the military complex" in spite of the rest of society. https://oll.libertyfund.org/quotes/83 https://oll.libertyfund.org/quotes/83 War as Spoliation https://mises.org/library/war-spoliation https://mises.org/library/war-spoliation
