RE: If 50% of the defence budgets of the 10 biggest nations was given to philanthropic causes, would we see more or less war and violence in the world? - Ecotrain Question of the Week
The reason they have so much budget in military it wasn't because of defense, but it's because of simply profit, it's all about business destabilizing a country can leverage their own economy by imposing culture and rules of the game, whoever imposes the rules of the game that means they own the game and they always win, since political and economical games is all about zero sum game. The question remain, how do we design a system that is a positive sum game that can benefit all people in the world.
I concur, weapons is business and i hate it when most of our African leaders fail to realize that. Stoping wars is saving a lot of money and if we can just stop buying these weapons we can save a lot of money.
