I mean US was building things, just the wrong ones (bombs and fighter jets)
The infrastructure destroyed by the US is probably of near zero value, given that they were fighting against failed states. Yugoslavia being the exception in this.
- cpursley 3y agoWait, are you saying that because they were failed states, it was a-okay for America to bomb their water supplies, etc?
- whatever1 3y agoNo we are just comparing values. The value of the American weapons is significantly higher than the value of the infrastructure they destroyed by orders of magnitude. So from a money perspective American wars were a net positive. Which is why I hate the original article. Money is not the reason why waging war is bad. It’s the loss of human lives and well being. And that does not have a dollar value. The price of the life of my kid is infinite.
