Peace is the Enemy of the US Military Industrial Complex | Global Research

War is a criminal act
against the humanity. The fundamental question is who may benefits from
the present potential military conflict in the Ukraine? 

The citizens of the Ukraine, Europe, Russia, or the USA would not
benefit. Some people in the Ukraine may benefit.  The European Union is
facing such severe economic and social problems that its search for
other burdens would be rather surprising.  Russia needs economic and
political stability to again be respected as a world power.  The USA is
ending two rather long wars – in Iraq and Afghanistan.   Would our
country be eager to get involved in another military conflict that again
might not be very successful?

The USA is the World’s foremost
military power.  Its military budget represents about 50 percent of
global military expenditures.  The US military has spent trillions of
dollars since the end of the Second World War.  Despite these huge
expenditures, it cannot claim any major victories.  The Korean War ended
in a tie.  The USA was defeated in Vietnam.  It has been searching for
some ending of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan without being able to
claim true victories.

The USA really did not have to get involved in those wars that solved nothing.  US citizens did not benefit from those wars.
