No sense in trying to save a world wherein a group of ppl believe they have the right to kill others for profit and others actually support them.

The worst concept since the jingos New American Century project/New Pearl Harbor Event (9/11) leading to endless war is that the military industrial complex represents DEFENSE. When your war chest is bigger than the next 15 countries defense budgets combined you're warmongering.

Because that $763B is used to secure resources across the world so we can continue to exploit other countries for profit aka capitalism.

There won’t be that one day continuing down this path.

I'm mixing up news topics, but if we could persuade the visiting ETs/Interdimensionals/time travelers to enforce world peace, every nation on Earth could demilitarize.
