- War does not create intrinsic value.
- War itself does not have value.
- War has caused great transfers of resources that already existed.
- Compound thought:
- there is money in solving problems.
- there are not enough problems to go around.
- Once problems are created they can be solved for profit.
- War is excellent at creating a LOT OF PROBLEMS.
- Companies tasked with rebuilding are often affiliated with the winning countries government.
- The winner (Conqueror) often gains significant natural resources from wars fought to *protect human rights*.
- There are many countries with severe human rights issues yet only countries with vast resources merit invasion.
- Wars necessitate the transfer of resources to defense contractors.
- Defense contractors are well funded and usually finance the election campaign of the ruling party.
- Election spending is in alarming correlation to poll results.
- War advances science. (atom bomb for example)
- War restrains science. (In Nazi Germany for instance only the fields that were deemed relevant to winning the war were funded, often others were cut off. && Think of the crusades no scientific advancement but those who didn't think the world was flat.. ..)
- War DESTROYS resources.
- War causes countless tragedies.
- War is a pretext for hostile occupation.
- All hostile occupations try to show themselves as saviors of the local population.
- Hostile occupations seek to control the area.
- An area is easier to control when the population is divided and there is a lot of infighting.( think USSR or the 3-rd reich recruiting people to spy on their own family and friends. and then think of the 2 allied spies (memory serves they were british...?) who got arrested in Iraq for shooting at civilians while disguised as locals and were then broken out by NATO tanks! ) There're worse things in the world but i wanted to point out that there is no good side in war. no matter what anyone says.
