So your hypothesis is: Countries like the Netherlands or Austria are bombing say Iraq so they can reap the profits by staffing their military with refugees? Can it get any weirder?
- wffurr 5y agoNo, so their governments can use fear of those refugees to spend more money on police and counter terrorism.
- idownvoted 5y ago> No, so their governments can use fear of those refugees to spend more money on police and counter terrorism. This argument isn't exactly less weird. So if I get you right, there is a Cabal of elites in say the Netherlands and Austria that is pushing invasions on say Iraq while simoultaniously cutting down on domestic security so they can later, say 15-30 years, rake in the profits by increasing spending on domestic security. Quite the detour for ruining your country half the way, don't you think?
- sudosysgen 5y agoFor a lot of people with a lot of power, finding a way to expand domestic security laws and general state power is not ruining your country, but instead a good way of preventing social change you don't want. Also, the domestic defence industry is really the best way to transfer money from government coffers directly towards the pockets of an arbitrary person.
