See the spike in Europe defense spending since 2022.
Exactly what Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrop, Boeing etc wanted.
China and India could be laughing at them that signed a border peace deal with each other last Oct. 23 at the BRICS Summit in Russia. Peace, no border war with neighbor. While EU is involved with prolonged proxy war with neighbor Russia. Many EU cannot even produce their own oil and gas, they want to produce more battle tanks.
NATO was created to counter USSR and Warsaw pact. In 1991, both USSR and Warsaw pact have ceased, they were disbanded. But NATO never disbanded, expanded instead. Right at Russia border with Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania as NATO members.
Like US invasion of Iraq to secure its oil and gas, US invasion and occupation of oil-gas rich regions of Syria, the US' Blackrock and other big companies may be salivating at huge oil-gas-coal-metals reserves of Russia. A regime change project in Russia is designed but they are failures so far
MidEast war
Under Biden-Harris, there are big wars – Ukraine-Russia, Israel vs Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran; Red Sea became a mini battle ground, etc. And big war preparations vs China over Taiwan. Halfway around the globe just to have a new war.
The Yom kippur war in 1973 was bad, practically all Arab countries in the Mideast+ N.Africa joined in the anti Israel war. Then the Lebanon Israel war in 1982. Nonetheless no regional war after that, until the US invaded Iraq in 2003. This greatly destabilized the Mideast again because the US is a big invader occupier. Then US invasion of Syria in 2014.
From 2017-2020, no new US war anywhere in the world under Trump. He wanted to pull out US troops in Syria, Iraq, stop endless wars and occupations, regime change abroad. But deep state operatives always have ways to continue the occupation. So Trump went for easy Israel peace path, the Abraham Accords. Israel at formal peace arrangements with UAE, Bahrain, Jordan. Other Arab countries under negotiations, then his term ended.
Biden in the WH, new wars just sprout around the world incl the ongoing war Israel vs Palestine Lebanon Houthis/Yemen Syria.
If one seeks war even implicitly, one will get it. There should be explicit, categorical, openly stated of No New War policy.
The US military industrial complex, better yet the MICMATT (military, industrial, Congress, media, academe, think tanks) is corrupt.
Invade occupy Vietnam for 1+decade, to protect democracy?
Invade Grenada, Somalia etc. Invade Afghanistan, Iraq for 2 decades, to protect democracy?
Invade Syria for 1 decade now, to protect democracy?
Regime change in Libya, in Ukraine 2014, to protect democracy?
Proxy war in Ukraine, proxy war in Israel, to protect democracy?
Planning a big war in Taiwan, to protect democracy?
