War Is Big Business

Foremost it must be stated war can no longer be seen as politics with other means as the doctrines of the past lectured us. In the face of the enormous nuclear weapons arsenal ready to wipe the human race from the surface of the earth - unlike a conventional war a nuclear war triggers an automatism that can't be stopped- too many people in uniform or civil clothes die for no basic reasons as most leaders take their countries to war not a decision at any polling station ever.

The UN Security Council and ICC in Den Haag have been set up the deal with these deadly crises to bring an end to them and hold the perpetrators responsible with little, no, or impressive success but were never able to stop the atrocities committed completely.

Marshall Plan unlike the Aid support of modern class was an economic support program for the US economy. Today countries help in times of crisis even in war times with AID support in various ways, financially, consulting, or food and relief items. This help does not need to be paid back in cash or e.g. form of natural resources.

The European Recovery Program Marshall Plan popularly known was paid back by Germany a few years ago as it had been mainly given on a loan basis. The USA had spent great sums of funds to liberate Germany from the hands of a brutal dictator. This money needed to be refinanced while Europe was brought back on its feet ready to stand strong against the East Block. The Marshall Plan was set up and anything needed to rebuild Europe like factories, trains, railway systems, etc. had to be sourced from the USA. Despite this plan, Germany made wise decisions to create a Wirtschaftswunder in which course it opened its borders to European workers from poor nations around and raised to the top rank in leading the EU.

In Ukraine, Sudan, and Syria, etc. houses, power stations, TVs, tables, chairs, beds, carpets, clothes, cars, trains, and public infrastructure, etc. get destroyed. When war has ended a new beginning starts.

Weapons, tanks, ammunition, drones, etc. create jobs in the supporting nations. More jobs mean higher tax revenues. Providing reconstruction of the Civil infrastructure, computers, TVs, chairs, cars, trains, locomotives, etc. come mainly from the supportive countries a process creating jobs or sustaining them and generating more tax returns that pay back the cost and money given during the course of the war.

The cost-of-living crisis complained about by the poorer people of the supportive nations is felt heavily but only for a limited time. The long time effects can work out as a flat-rate exercise or economically positive. Some companies and individuals on the other hand will rest well under the sun.

The human, social, and political geographical costs outweigh the economic advantage of some a thousandfold.
