He placed his hands on its surface and began to speak, the vertical crack at the center of his face widening as he began to speak in modulated concentrations of sulpur, which was the languge of his kind._

      many profit alot from war and destruction. You think the American "aid" to Ukraine goes to Ukraine as a banktransfer? Or do you think America is lend-leasing their old weapons stock and pumping all that money back into their economy by boosting the American weapon manufactures to renew their own warmachine's stock. Saying war is not profitable is nonsense, specialy if you manage to sell to both sides without them finding out.

      @Sci-FiVault  4 місяці тому +2

      That might be true, but historically war isn't good for business as well. The whole concept of it being good actually arose around the world wars ONLY for when the US wasn't a part of the wars and was just selling materials and taking loans from folks. Once you get in and get on a total war footing it's not beneficial. Plus the destruction wrought and all of that, es no bueno.
      Just my take though.
