@benfulton hello, uh, I wonder though if the goals of war are really anything but war —- the economic value of the war is that they are expensive & an excellent way of taking money off the state and putting it in the pockets of military business. It also projects and enforces as view of the world which is highly beneficial to people like trump & Putin - ‘each of us is at war, all the time’ justifies their insistence of power and aggression being the foundations of the human unit
