War is a (profitable) racket


War is a big time money maker as seen by the AFP graphic using SIPRI data delineating the biggest arms dealers in the world. It's no wonder the deep states in every industrialized country peddle arms because weapon sales make a lot of money for a very few entities while the cost for selling of said arms is death, chaos and the destruction of nations. (Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Yemen among significant others)

Smedley Butler is right. War is a Racket, a profitable one at that.
