How Much Did The Politicians Spent/Spending On War

I've read staggering figures spent by politicians on war...

India just closed a deal, spending big bucks to upgrade their military defenses...why didn't they spent this money on the poor? Food, toilets, education...etc? Anyone from India are more than welcome to post the estimate amount.dunno


USA, how much did they spend on Irag and Afghanistan alone? Any idea at all? I've read millions and millions, billions and billions...and worse could be trillions.

UK? How much did they pitched in for Iraq and Afghanistan?

Other countries?

This is an impromptu blog, have no time to post figures here but would appreciate if anyone could fill in the blanks here.


Politicians conned the people, specially the poor..deprived them of their human rights...and yet many are still blind and strongly believe in politics while the entire world are suffering from hunger, war, diseases, and many other afflictions, ain't that clever?

Wondering when the world will wake up, when the people will take a stand...and when that happens ? Will you stand with them ? dunno

Ading, I know that in Afghanistan, about a billion a day. Whatever is the profit on that, I am not sure.

But how realistically do you propose to eliminate conflict that rises to war is the question. War should not happen, the question is why does it happen?
Here's one answer, Crazy...

YOUTUBE War Is A Racket by Smedley Butler numoleen

Smedley Butler was a Major General, USMC and twice recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
I reckon he knew whereof he spoke.

The above vid is a highly condensed version...less than ten minutes.
The entire book is also available on YouTube.

Mic,

Here we go...

Your sentments are remarkably similar to the conclusions drawn by General Butler, Crazy.

its not politics
its a matter of safety of our boarder
all world know about factory of terrorism
So how can we stay careless from them
Humans live to make war. Its the only thing we are good at.
Still think weapons and war are the answer to the world's problem ?

RCM wave these are the simple terms that can escalate to war and that is what we need to know is just why. If terrorism and interest of other group doesn't fall into killing us then war is not there anymore, right? But it is complicated and well, goes back to the survival of the fittest all over again.

But I like how you put it in perspective RCM, why do we build house and lock.wave

its my humble request
How does it happen?
Chillingly simple, it would seem...

YouTube The War Machine - Hermann Goerring interviewed on how the people are led to war

It's only 'bout three minutes, y'all. Worth a listen.

Generl Butler...circa 1932
Reichsmarschall Goerring...circa 1946

Prior to that...
USS Maine

Since then...
Gulf of Tonkin Incident
USS Liberty Incident
Operation Northwoods
9-11
Others?

What a difference 70, 80 or 100 years make...NOT!

Crazy, countries with large munition manufacturers and large armies will always be at war.
If they can't join in a war that's already there, they'll start one on some pretext.

The munition companies need a profit, and no government wants a bored army.

There's profit in war, not in peace.
Mic,

Interesting...

Red,

That's what I'm talking about...for us to stand up...enough is enough....not this on-going a**-kissing in politics these days...let's look at the politicians for who they really are and for what they stand for...
Molly,

If government won't close these ammunition manufacturers, then people must stand together and do it...not just go along with whatever the government decides...government is made up of lots of criminals, no point in following them...we pay taxes, for what?dunno
Track,

you're wrong...the majority abhors wars but because we have a corrupt government and evil politicians...war happens...worse part is many of us consenteddunno
Crazy, governments are but puppets to the might of munition factories.

Bringing down one government will make no difference whatsoever.

On a smaller scale, look at the might of the NRA in the US. Obama tried to limit personal weapons, not even touching real weapons of war, and how far did he get?

War pays. People suffer, but war pays.
War happens because we are territorial by nature, and we
will defend our own ideologies against an aggressor.
Mic,
