If we still need to have wars worldwide, why not take a look at the current China India conflict as an example. There they agreed to fight only with sticks and clubs, and it's working great for both sides.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoBut that's the beauty of the Military Industrial Complex. It's not about war(s). It's about enriching the few at the top of the MIC food chain. In theory, I agree with you. The reality is, we'll likely be seeing the MIC(s) be enlarged. The argument will be that more power and more force are necessary as resources become limited, "interests" need to be maintained, etc.
