who benefits from all these wars? Who is making the weaponry? Who supplies each side?

Until it is not profitable to make war, I don't see it stopping. the havoc and chaos the repukes can create the more blind their base becomes to them stripping them of money and rights. What about the rest? Why are the pro-lifers so much pro-war, murder and killing? Just tired of the war mongers and profiteers of the world who are willing to scam the people whether it be wall street scamming or realtors or the war mongers - they are all made from the same cloth - sickos

1. All the Generals...General Electric (We bring good wars to life), General Dynamics, General Motors..

There are other corporations as well.

And you'd shit to look at their campaign contributions. They're troubling.

It's a racket, war is. And politicians on both sides of the aisle profit from it. This ain't just a "repuke" show, much as we'd like to think that. If we're to be honest, there's blame, and greed, on both sides. It's only that there used to be more GOP politicians.

Now, we're in the majority. Let's see if OUR politicians who feast at that trough can push themselves away.

but others to steal treasuries and propagate war for fun and profits.

4. Who? Well, depends on who we're talking about.

Major industrialized nations tend to buy from their own industries, or the industries of close trade partners. Most human conflicts, however, involve few things more sophisticated than Kalashnikov rifles and improvised bombs, all of which are either locally produced or traded on the enormous world arms black market, which is controlled by petty warlords, mob bosses, and criminals.

The current I/P conflict is illuminating. Israel buys its weapons from both its local cutting-edge weapons industry, and from American military weapons manufacturers. Hamas, on the other hand, both manufactures explosives locally and smuggles guns and materials in from foreign black-market arms dealers.

"All war is caused by arms suppliers" is, I think, a bit over-simplistic, just as it was when it was proposed and popularly held during the Civil War and World War I.
