Geo Political Risk

[BlackPeter]

Totally to be expected.

The military arms industry controls the US government and needs continuous war mongering to sell their weapons of death.

WOMD.

Of course ... similar to the tabacco industry, the coal industry, the oil industry, the alcohol industry and other misfits, though unfortunately - we do need modern weapons to defend ourselves against the worst autocrats, i.e. defence is not quite as bad as the others.

The only question is - why are the red chinese halfwits supporting the western defence industry? If they and their similar witted counterpart in Russia would have kept their peace, there would not have been a shot in the arm for the western weapons industry - and they didn't do too well the last 3 decades or so.

Never forget - while the West has as well its fair share of half witted leaders, only autocratic systems like China or Russia give such morons all the powers to create maximum havoc.
