    This is good, but it leaves out the transaction that is happening, since they’re definitely not overfunding the military out of the kindness of their non-existent hearts…
    They’re doing it for profit and power - for land and resources, for cheap or even slave labour that comes from war (either locally and often outsourced, or in the form of refugees and immigration, all often to the very countries who caused the destruction and poverty in the first place, how convenient), for geopolitical control, for sowing division among the global working class to stop us from uniting, and so much more suffering and destruction that all gain a very small group of people complete control over society.
