I was in the United States military (Navy) and you’re spot on... I was expendable. Thank you for the amazing informational content. 👍🏽 time to become a war profiteer 🤠
But that's right though you where expendable. Just like you would be expendable in any other big company like google or Amazon. I joined knowing this and so should everyone else who wants to serve.
Arguably wasn’t really an educational video essay if you ask me, while there was some research done in there for sure, I’ve seen videos with far more research done which make for a completely different style of video. Not bumping the guy or anything because he’s doing his thing or whatever but it was more of a sarcastic rant than an “essay” per say. At least in my opinion. Still interesting to watch. To mention the statistics in the beginning, namely the ones from the ‘profits of war’ section. While they may have been true statistics, he took them and accidentally misinterpreted or twisted them. Just because a company makes more profit in wartime doesn’t mean they don’t also have more costs, just because profit goes up doesn’t mean output doesn’t also go up, the right thing to do would be to show the profit margin (total revenue - total costs). He does talk about profit margins rising but doesn’t give an example or any source for his claim that profit margins are somehow 800%. He completely mixes up profit margins and overall profits when he talks about the leather company in WW1. He says how much profit they got before the war then how much during the war, well they might have got 3x the profit that probably just means they received 3x the orders. I had a lot of issues with this section in fact. He complains about how many new millionaires and billionaires emerged during WW1 but that period was over 4 years, we don’t know how many new millionaires and billions usually emerge in a 4 year period of economic boom, probably quite a lot. He also completely ignores the checks and balances put in place to maximise efficiency in budget and spending. For example, it’s not all that easy to get a contract with the US military for say a new multi role fighter. Companies are competing with other companies to not only make the best product, but for the best price, and one that fits the US militaries requirements. Lockheed Martin won the contract for the F-35 but think about who lost... they had to spend billions and billions to develop this multi role fighter that was completely useless and never made a penny in profit. It’s the same with every other piece of tech and resource the military uses, it’s all one huge competition between companies with only 1 winner. You can only imagine how much new innovated tech comes out of this fight for survival, not to mention jobs. And the tech isn’t just for the military, think GPS, Computer chips etc etc the list goes on. And as for the actual military high command, they have an allocated budget from the government, right. They then have to spend that budget as efficiently as possible in order to keep their job, if the government sees the military high command are using all their budget but the military aren’t meeting the standards set out to them by the government, these people get replaced. This incentivises efficient spending on things that are desperately needed. If you ask me the guy was either accidentally mistaken or outright being misleading when he made the US military and government look like they just didn’t care what they spent their money on and that they only cared about making money for the companies. I have a couple more complaints both big and small but this comment is already becoming lengthy and I’m a month late, so I’ll wrap up for you. Again I’ll mention I have no personal problem with the guy making the video and am in no way attacking him personally or discrediting the ENTIRE video since there was some good points in there.

Oh it gets worse, lets not forget: Spreading coronavirus fearmongering, racist, factually false information (Paul Joseph Watson): Monetised Spreading weird nazi propaganda (Stefan Molyneux and uhhh literally countless others): Monetised Mounting an organised campaign to mass bully a gay, latino reporter (on the basis of him being gay and latino as well) without ever being provoked (Steven Crowder): Monetised Saying the word trans, sex, or suicide (notably Contra Points but many, many others): DEMONETISED Not to mention that UA-cam routinely promotes hard right content, while basically burying anything vaguely left leaning, progressive, and sometimes even liberal. And im not like anti free speech at all, and i value political debate and i think its fine to have well spoken conservative figures on UA-cam (although they are extremely rare lol), i just think that UA-cam is both unfairly biased towards right wing content, and also in general has a very wrong set of values as a platform. Also right wing snowflakes still complain about being silenced loool sorry bro gotta keep that n word down a bit, keep that k word and those nazi salutes away too, and you're literally gonna become a million sub channel in months. Fucking bunch of spineless pussies.
@ This comment didn't age well. 1) Although I don't like PJW's "reporting" and Alex Jones is giving him a free pass, the MSM is starting to entertain that the virus was manufactured in China and released accidentally. Still TBD whether this was caused by bat soup in the wet market. 2) Stefan is definitely right-leaning, but he varies between authoritarian (border control, traditional values) and libertarian (free market, #FreeHongKong), so I don't find how he has solidarity with "nazis", especially since he's partially Jewish. He's just a light Alex Jones, and as long as he doesn't have a threatening CTA, he'll probably be demonetized eventually if he hasn't already, but shouldn't be taken down due to contrarian opinions. 3) Steven's main problem in the cited video is Carlos' pro-Antifa stance, which I believe the viewership had issues with. The "accent" was a part of Crowder's humor of doing skits and Carlos' orientation was self-admitted, but Crowder later apologized...after a scorched-Earth policy was applied by UA-cam after the press flooded with a "controversy" in Carlos' favor. UA-cam briefly saved bipartisan face by banning 3 Arrows temporarily, but got him back up. Also, Steven Crowder sells mugs, so he cannot be fully deplatformed. 4) There is a whole doc on what words you can't say that is farther than the LGBT community, that affect everyone on UA-cam. Although the culture is free to mention, the words are being policed communally on other platforms like Twitch, and as other hackfrauds like David Pakman have said that the "g" word is beginning to conflate with the "n" word, which is sadly ridiculous. Also, UA-cam being stupid is nothing new, they've been in the red for a decade now but are being kept alive by Google...which has the problem of using ad and page history to create "bubbles" which validate confirmation bias for individual viewers in the name of more ads. If there were more video platforms and search engines this wouldn't be a big deal, but relatively few have taken off.

I'll never forget my freshman year of High School in U.S. History, my teacher sat down and faced the class and asked the class "Who wins in war?" And some people gave some cliche answers, but then he stopped and repeated the question and said "Industry wins in war." 14-year-old me wasn't capable of grasping the significance and truth of that statement.
Yeah I lucky to have a good teacher like this when I was a sophomore in 2002-03 basically telling us how the whole lead up to the Iraq war was bullshit and what not. He was completely right but was almost fired for “hating America” according to the republican kids parents
That's grossly incorrect. In the long run, wars destroy property, kill people, and waste money that could have gone into capital investment. That hurts industry.

Every single us citizen should be aware of and have a full and complete understanding of the military industrial complex. The book "war is a racket" by former us general smedley Butler is a really good read on this subject and it's a short and easy one too
Why be an arms dealer? Dealing in arms is risky, unpopular and, more than the just the risk of getting killed, some politician or official can decide to throw you under the buss and end up costing you millions of dollars and precious months or years of jail-time even if everything you were doing was legal at the time! The Humanitarian(tm) business is loads more profitable, you get to brag about how you're doing humanity a service, everyone will think you're great and a lot of wealthy and influential people will do _anything_ it takes to be seen as your friend. So what if 90% of the aid you send to...uh...let's see...Botswana, no, Zimbabwe...no, Ghana? No that's not the one, uh...ah, yeah, Zanzibar. That was the one. So what if 90% of the aid you send to Zanzibar is filtered through the Zanzibar government which is precisely the reason the people of Zanzibar need your help and who are no doubt going to abuse your generous aid to further their own power and worsen the position of their people. At least I think it was Zanzibar, it doesn't really matter so long as they're brownish and poor. And besides, think of the money laundering opportunities! BILLIONS of dubiously gained funds will pass through your Humanitarian(tm) "Non-Profit" only to be quietly filtered through anonymous accounts in various nations which practice very creative banking to then filter back into the pockets of all your criminal bodies - leaving you a substantial cut, of course. And let's not forget about those salaries, I mean, we wouldn't want any of our employees to go by unpaid would we? The money people donate _is_ being used to help children in a 3rd world country...your children who are currently on vacation in Thailand. The Humanitarian(tm) Industry, the _other_ war profiteering that nobody wants to talk about because you payed for it's got a pretty face.
@ScarletDespair Blaming only Israel does nothing to fix the issue. Sure Mossad was involved with the WMD intelligence, but many billionaires with stakes in Halliburton, GM, GE, etc made a lot of money throughout the wars. When I see people blame Israel it usually seems like they are missing the point and will only let the crimes continue just because they hate Jews. Get rid of Israel we still have war profiteering. Instead we need to look at the root of the issues, like how the interests of the rich are very different the interests of the common folk, yet the rich have all the power when it comes to starting wars.
@@leroture7750 the Wars throughout the 2000s largely benefitted Israel. Israel is the only democratic nation in a sea of Muslim countries that all have their knives out for Israel. By sending the US to destabilize these surrounding nations, Israel massively benefits by increasing their power in the region by not being fucked by US drone strikes. So while the US does benefit from some ancillary activities such as claims on oil, war economy, etc, Israel gains the most. Ask yourself this, if the US truly cared about world peace and helping others, wouldn't they be in Africa, Parts of Asia, South America, you know, countries that actually have legitimate conflicts worth resolving? Instead, the US military constantly finds itself where it can benefit Israel the most.
They say CEO's and those involved on boards mentally are either psychopathic or sociopathic so just imagine how disconnected and unhuman you have to be to able to wake up each day knowing you make your money from a war you help fuel and arm.

Going from your example above: US army (owner) needs 1 million cans of beans for chow time and the cost is $1.00/can civilian price.. Owner then tenders out the contract, Company A (contractor) submits their bid for $20 million, company B (contractor) is $25 million. US army selects Company A because they are the cheapest. Company A had to source 1 million cans of beans from a supplier or different suppliers because most suppliers do not stock that many cans of beans. Therefore, the time (money) spent Company A is using to source 1 millions cans of beans from different suppliers and all the logistics (cost, shipping, storing, cargo weight etc) involved is why these items are marked up a shit ton.
Shows like this give me hope. As someone that grew up with the Draft in the early 70's , I found foolish that these guys were volunteering for the Irag War in 2004 . I was amazed that they hadnt learned anything from Vietnam etc.
How can you learn from Vietnam when you weren't even born for almost 2 decades later and you're 18 when the iraq war started. You have just started your life, muchless know how the world works.
@@ohio72213 Exactly ... 'Chickenhawk', & 'A Bright Shining Lie' are both excellent places to start. And there is a huge amount on Vietnam just on UA-cam alone, including a damning assessment of 'Project 100,000' ... It's pretty much easy to say that the Internet has become the Library of Librarys ... although I personally always prefer having the heft of a book in my hand ...
I have a feeling that adapting to circumstances means trying to steer a 100,000 DWT oil tanker ... The American Civil War should have been a warning to the world how War had changed in just 60 years. When WWI broke out, Gen. W. T. Sherman would've, just like the Civil War, predicted it would be a long protracted war ... Perhaps the real major shock was WWII. Again, in the handful of decades, War changed all over again. This time it included the first, and hopefully last, instance when a Genocide against some 10 million combined, where gassed, incinerated, and all that ash simply dumped, sometimes in rivers. The Eastern Front was especially brutal, as it went back to sieges, like at Verdun. There, the German high command failed to heed to Napoleon: that to the Soviets, once Generals Depth and Winter both arrived ... as there was a huge landmass that is Russia, the further they drew back, the thinner the German supply lines became until they snapped. Then throw Winter into the mix; regions experiencing scorching hot summers gradually went into a deep freeze. Naturally, the Soviets were fully prepared, but the Germans weren't ... and the rest is quite literally history. The Gulf War of the '90s, was justifiable because Saddam Husein invaded Kuwait. A 'Coalition of the Willing' was gathered to kick Iraq out of Kuwait. There were those whom wished they pushed all the way to Baghdad, and maybe that would've better, than invading just on a stack of superstitions, although invading Afghanistan could have been more of a humanitarian mission, than the heavy handed, military, one ... ... and even then, the Americans, and us British, especially, failed to heed the failure of the Soviet Army, and every other Army, not least our British army, a century, or so, ago ... with the enemy more or less hiding in plain sight, I'm not surprised how, like Vietnam, you were practically dealing with an unseen enemy ... And now, yet again, there is a semi-proxy war between the West, and Russia, less so in Syria, but certainly in Ukraine. But if Putin goes all out in both theatres, he will push especially NATO to the brink ... Unfortunately, sleep deprivation may mean the above is mangled, but my point is if wars are fought based off of previous conflicts in specific regions, instead, using the military equivalent to evidence based medicine, then NATO, in this instance, with a bit of help from Mossad, needs to up tempo its intelligence gathering, by all means available, to understand exactly what the Russian invasion strategy is, and be kept updated at a faster pace ...
My grandfather was alive during WW2. His father and his many brothers were exempt from the draft because their family business landed an army contract providing mosquito netting and so were "necessary for the war effort". They were the soal supplier of mosquito netting for the entire war and they gauged the government every step of the way. They had enough money to do anything they wished. Needless to say, they squandered that fortion, and now my grandfather is retired in Florida. Now... he insisted that what America needs to get back on its feet is a war...
@@jaketran it is what it is... I always loved him. But its terrifying. He served as a SAC pilot in the cold war. He nearly few over Cuba twice, to bomb it, and nearly bombed Russia when Kennedy was shot... He knew what war could lead to. He saw how the military supplied him with faulty aircraft, sent him on missions that nearly killed him, how they treated him as something to be throne away. Hell his "extract plan" from Russia was to fly to a airfield in Sweden. An airfield that was to small to land his jet on. But he still cant see past the profits he made as a young man. I don't know anymore... HE just sees me and my generation as "pussies" and cowards unwilling to fight...
@Phillip Mariani money really just does that to you. We should just go back to bartering, none of this profit crap, you just get what you want and someone else gets what they want. Imagine how much war would decrease if there was really nothing to gain from it.

I see a pattern. very important.. the following list of items are in sequential order: 1. US economy crashes edit: usually predicted by technical analysis 2. When markets crash including crypto, US does war profiteering 3. War profit by more than 75% 4. US takes advantage of further market price drop to invest their war profit back to markets (market manipulation) 5. market prices go back up 6. US economy temporarily stabilizes You can check the dates using the Bitcoin chart. This is happening as we speak. Need this, validated.

How do you become an arms dealer in the first place?" "Back in the Navy we delivered guns all over the world, droppin' off guys with 20 crates of rifles for the local fighters, so they could knock over some dictator. Mind you, that’s not 20 crates of factory M16’s, these were illicit weapons, confiscated in some raid and then redistributed. No paper work, right? If a crate here or there goes missing, hey, it happens. Military teaches you two things: how to deal with bureaucracy, and how to avoid it. Learning how to avoid it means learning how to deal in arms. You muster out, you apply what you learned. Every gunman I have ever met got his start that way: losing illicit weapons in transport with national militaries." "Did you ever choose sides in a conflict?" "Ah I did it once, was a bad idea, cut my profits in half. Almost got me killed. Never again. You sell to both sides. You can help level the field, stabilize the market, draw out the conflict and make more money. A big sale to one side doesn’t generate repeat business. Both the APR and the UFLL are using my weapons. Now, they're in detente both sides are stockpiling. Less violence. More spending. It's perfect." "But its anarchy! Thousands are dead, hundreds of thousands are displaced!" "If I picked sides, fewer would be displaced but more would be dead; and I would probably be one of them." What do you think you’re gonna achieve with this interview? You think somebody in the Pentagon's going to read it and come after me? Shit no, I’m a necessary evil. They want me here, they’re glad I’m here. Because if I wasn’t, they might have to come try to stem the tide. It would be thankless and worthless, and once the bodies started coming home in bags, they’re screwed. A dead twenty-three year old from Iowa gets more airtime than the death of fifty-thousand people he gave his life to protect.

To mention the statistics in the beginning, namely the ones from the ‘profits of war’ section. While they may have been true statistics, he took them and accidentally misinterpreted or twisted them. Just because a company makes more profit in wartime doesn’t mean they don’t also have more costs, just because profit goes up doesn’t mean output doesn’t also go up, the right thing to do would be to show the profit margin (total revenue - total costs). He does talk about profit margins rising but doesn’t give an example or any source for his claim that profit margins are somehow 800%.
He completely mixes up profit margins and overall profits when he talks about the leather company in WW1. He says how much profit they got before the war then how much during the war, well they might have got 3x the profit that probably just means they received 3x the orders.
I had a lot of issues with this section in fact. He complains about how many new millionaires and billionaires emerged during WW1 but that period was over 4 years, we don’t know how many new millionaires and billions usually emerge in a 4 year period of economic boom, probably quite a lot.
He also completely ignores the checks and balances put in place to maximise efficiency in budget and spending. For example, it’s not all that easy to get a contract with the US military for say a new multi role fighter. Companies are competing with other companies to not only make the best product, but for the best price, and one that fits the US militaries requirements. Lockheed Martin won the contract for the F-35 but think about who lost... they had to spend billions and billions to develop this multi role fighter that was completely useless and never made a penny in profit. It’s the same with every other piece of tech and resource the military uses, it’s all one huge competition between companies with only 1 winner. You can only imagine how much new innovated tech comes out of this fight for survival, not to mention jobs. And the tech isn’t just for the military, think GPS, Computer chips etc etc the list goes on.
And as for the actual military high command, they have an allocated budget from the government, right. They then have to spend that budget as efficiently as possible in order to keep their job, if the government sees the military high command are using all their budget but the military aren’t meeting the standards set out to them by the government, these people get replaced. This incentivises efficient spending on things that are desperately needed. If you ask me the guy was either accidentally mistaken or outright being misleading when he made the US military and government look like they just didn’t care what they spent their money on and that they only cared about making money for the companies.
I have a couple more complaints both big and small but this comment is already becoming lengthy and I’m a month late, so I’ll wrap up for you.
Again I’ll mention I have no personal problem with the guy making the video and am in no way attacking him personally or discrediting the ENTIRE video since there was some good points in there.
Oh it gets worse, lets not forget:
Spreading coronavirus fearmongering, racist, factually false information (Paul Joseph Watson): Monetised
Spreading weird nazi propaganda (Stefan Molyneux and uhhh literally countless others): Monetised
Mounting an organised campaign to mass bully a gay, latino reporter (on the basis of him being gay and latino as well) without ever being provoked (Steven Crowder): Monetised
Saying the word trans, sex, or suicide (notably Contra Points but many, many others): DEMONETISED
Not to mention that UA-cam routinely promotes hard right content, while basically burying anything vaguely left leaning, progressive, and sometimes even liberal. And im not like anti free speech at all, and i value political debate and i think its fine to have well spoken conservative figures on UA-cam (although they are extremely rare lol), i just think that UA-cam is both unfairly biased towards right wing content, and also in general has a very wrong set of values as a platform.
Also right wing snowflakes still complain about being silenced loool sorry bro gotta keep that n word down a bit, keep that k word and those nazi salutes away too, and you're literally gonna become a million sub channel in months. Fucking bunch of spineless pussies.
@ This comment didn't age well.
1) Although I don't like PJW's "reporting" and Alex Jones is giving him a free pass, the MSM is starting to entertain that the virus was manufactured in China and released accidentally. Still TBD whether this was caused by bat soup in the wet market.
2) Stefan is definitely right-leaning, but he varies between authoritarian (border control, traditional values) and libertarian (free market, #FreeHongKong), so I don't find how he has solidarity with "nazis", especially since he's partially Jewish. He's just a light Alex Jones, and as long as he doesn't have a threatening CTA, he'll probably be demonetized eventually if he hasn't already, but shouldn't be taken down due to contrarian opinions.
3) Steven's main problem in the cited video is Carlos' pro-Antifa stance, which I believe the viewership had issues with. The "accent" was a part of Crowder's humor of doing skits and Carlos' orientation was self-admitted, but Crowder later apologized...after a scorched-Earth policy was applied by UA-cam after the press flooded with a "controversy" in Carlos' favor. UA-cam briefly saved bipartisan face by banning 3 Arrows temporarily, but got him back up. Also, Steven Crowder sells mugs, so he cannot be fully deplatformed.
4) There is a whole doc on what words you can't say that is farther than the LGBT community, that affect everyone on UA-cam. Although the culture is free to mention, the words are being policed communally on other platforms like Twitch, and as other hackfrauds like David Pakman have said that the "g" word is beginning to conflate with the "n" word, which is sadly ridiculous.
Also, UA-cam being stupid is nothing new, they've been in the red for a decade now but are being kept alive by Google...which has the problem of using ad and page history to create "bubbles" which validate confirmation bias for individual viewers in the name of more ads. If there were more video platforms and search engines this wouldn't be a big deal, but relatively few have taken off.

I'll never forget my freshman year of High School in U.S. History, my teacher sat down and faced the class and asked the class "Who wins in war?" And some people gave some cliche answers, but then he stopped and repeated the question and said "Industry wins in war." 14-year-old me wasn't capable of grasping the significance and truth of that statement.
Yeah I lucky to have a good teacher like this when I was a sophomore in 2002-03 basically telling us how the whole lead up to the Iraq war was bullshit and what not.
He was completely right but was almost fired for “hating America” according to the republican kids parents

Jake , just wanted to say thank you for helping me make the decision of becoming an arms dealer hahahahaha
what else am I here for
Is it profitable?
@@insertnamehere1865 Of course!
Why be an arms dealer? Dealing in arms is risky, unpopular and, more than the just the risk of getting killed, some politician or official can decide to throw you under the buss and end up costing you millions of dollars and precious months or years of jail-time even if everything you were doing was legal at the time! The Humanitarian(tm) business is loads more profitable, you get to brag about how you're doing humanity a service, everyone will think you're great and a lot of wealthy and influential people will do _anything_ it takes to be seen as your friend.
So what if 90% of the aid you send to...uh...let's see...Botswana, no, Zimbabwe...no, Ghana? No that's not the one, uh...ah, yeah, Zanzibar. That was the one. So what if 90% of the aid you send to Zanzibar is filtered through the Zanzibar government which is precisely the reason the people of Zanzibar need your help and who are no doubt going to abuse your generous aid to further their own power and worsen the position of their people. At least I think it was Zanzibar, it doesn't really matter so long as they're brownish and poor.
And besides, think of the money laundering opportunities! BILLIONS of dubiously gained funds will pass through your Humanitarian(tm) "Non-Profit" only to be quietly filtered through anonymous accounts in various nations which practice very creative banking to then filter back into the pockets of all your criminal bodies - leaving you a substantial cut, of course.
And let's not forget about those salaries, I mean, we wouldn't want any of our employees to go by unpaid would we? The money people donate _is_ being used to help children in a 3rd world country...your children who are currently on vacation in Thailand.
The Humanitarian(tm) Industry, the _other_ war profiteering that nobody wants to talk about because you payed for it's got a pretty face.

@ScarletDespair Blaming only Israel does nothing to fix the issue. Sure Mossad was involved with the WMD intelligence, but many billionaires with stakes in Halliburton, GM, GE, etc made a lot of money throughout the wars. When I see people blame Israel it usually seems like they are missing the point and will only let the crimes continue just because they hate Jews. Get rid of Israel we still have war profiteering. Instead we need to look at the root of the issues, like how the interests of the rich are very different the interests of the common folk, yet the rich have all the power when it comes to starting wars.

@@leroture7750 the Wars throughout the 2000s largely benefitted Israel. Israel is the only democratic nation in a sea of Muslim countries that all have their knives out for Israel. By sending the US to destabilize these surrounding nations, Israel massively benefits by increasing their power in the region by not being fucked by US drone strikes. So while the US does benefit from some ancillary activities such as claims on oil, war economy, etc, Israel gains the most. Ask yourself this, if the US truly cared about world peace and helping others, wouldn't they be in Africa, Parts of Asia, South America, you know, countries that actually have legitimate conflicts worth resolving? Instead, the US military constantly finds itself where it can benefit Israel the most.

Can of beans
Civilian price: $1 maximum
Army price: $20 minimum
what kind of logic is that?
@nickppj That's not the reason they're overpriced. Even when the US isn't at war food supplies in America is overpriced
@nickppj the company only makes the beans , the army actually transports them .
Going from your example above: US army (owner) needs 1 million cans of beans for chow time and the cost is $1.00/can civilian price.. Owner then tenders out the contract, Company A (contractor) submits their bid for $20 million, company B (contractor) is $25 million. US army selects Company A because they are the cheapest. Company A had to source 1 million cans of beans from a supplier or different suppliers because most suppliers do not stock that many cans of beans. Therefore, the time (money) spent Company A is using to source 1 millions cans of beans from different suppliers and all the logistics (cost, shipping, storing, cargo weight etc) involved is why these items are marked up a shit ton.
@nickppj and I bet not many companies can do it so they can kinda choose the price , not for sure tho just a thought

Exactly ...
'Chickenhawk', & 'A Bright Shining Lie' are both excellent places to start. And there is a huge amount on Vietnam just on UA-cam alone, including a damning assessment of 'Project 100,000' ...
It's pretty much easy to say that the Internet has become the Library of Librarys ... although I personally always prefer having the heft of a book in my hand ...
I have a feeling that adapting to circumstances means trying to steer a 100,000 DWT oil tanker ...
The American Civil War should have been a warning to the world how War had changed in just 60 years. When WWI broke out, Gen. W. T. Sherman would've, just like the Civil War, predicted it would be a long protracted war ...
Perhaps the real major shock was WWII. Again, in the handful of decades, War changed all over again. This time it included the first, and hopefully last, instance when a Genocide against some 10 million combined, where gassed, incinerated, and all that ash simply dumped, sometimes in rivers.
The Eastern Front was especially brutal, as it went back to sieges, like at Verdun. There, the German high command failed to heed to Napoleon: that to the Soviets, once Generals Depth and Winter both arrived ... as there was a huge landmass that is Russia, the further they drew back, the thinner the German supply lines became until they snapped. Then throw Winter into the mix; regions experiencing scorching hot summers gradually went into a deep freeze. Naturally, the Soviets were fully prepared, but the Germans weren't ... and the rest is quite literally history.
The Gulf War of the '90s, was justifiable because Saddam Husein invaded Kuwait. A 'Coalition of the Willing' was gathered to kick Iraq out of Kuwait. There were those whom wished they pushed all the way to Baghdad, and maybe that would've better, than invading just on a stack of superstitions, although invading Afghanistan could have been more of a humanitarian mission, than the heavy handed, military, one ...
... and even then, the Americans, and us British, especially, failed to heed the failure of the Soviet Army, and every other Army, not least our British army, a century, or so, ago ... with the enemy more or less hiding in plain sight, I'm not surprised how, like Vietnam, you were practically dealing with an unseen enemy ...
And now, yet again, there is a semi-proxy war between the West, and Russia, less so in Syria, but certainly in Ukraine.
But if Putin goes all out in both theatres, he will push especially NATO to the brink ...
Unfortunately, sleep deprivation may mean the above is mangled, but my point is if wars are fought based off of previous conflicts in specific regions, instead, using the military equivalent to evidence based medicine, then NATO, in this instance, with a bit of help from Mossad, needs to up tempo its intelligence gathering, by all means available, to understand exactly what the Russian invasion strategy is, and be kept updated at a faster pace ...

You can check the dates using the Bitcoin chart. This is happening as we speak. Need this, validated.
This video was released at an unfortunate time. Then again now we can put these methods to the test and see if they work. 😅😕💵
IKR!!
13:02 This scenario really hit hard, it reminds me of the American contractor that was killed during the rising tension with “Iranian back militias” back in December.
THANKS!!
Didn't expect to get this level of content, here take my sub.

Thank you for this show.
Whenever I tell friends and or coworkers these things I get blank looks, looks of disbelief, or most often they just think I'm a nut case. So... Now I'm not feeling like I'm not the only one on the planet.
1. make an arms company.
2.pay some mercenary group to stir some conflict on another country.
3. pretend to help the other country by selling a cheap weapon.
4.profit.
Its a common misconception that the u.n has actual power. Theyre infamous for being a paper tiger for those who pay attention to world politics.
Oh sure they do wield a little due to sheer weight of countries but ask the u.s what it thought of the u.n's rulings when it invaded iraq.
Even a moderately powerful country can say screw you to the u.n if it has the right politics, power and people in its pocket. Just look at russia or china or turkey or hell most of the top powers.
@A Perpetual Guardsman with a flashlight Even better. Now competition is less.
5. Get found out, liquidated and jailed
You conspiracy theorists are a cute bunch of paranoid dreamers
Just gotta say I love how you use movies scenes it’s so entertaining lmao
THANKS EDWIN!
This is quite interesting.
Perfect timing too, considering the recent Soleimani assassination. Hopefully that doesn't start a war!
THANKS MAN!!
A war is on the horizon !
Something far worse has happened to us.

I punder on how my retirement experience would generally feel like because I've not yet been able to save enough money and according to my spreadsheet I'm 9 years closer to my retirement schedule.
You can start by investing in the forex market, it's one of the most liquidated market in the world with no limit to profits and in less than two months you should start saving in a bigger volume.
forex isn't like any other work as you must learn the basics and then practice before engaging in real time. unfortunately, You can benefit handsomely from an investment adviser's strategies and trading software while learning from your portfolio.
I used to see forex trading as a side thing but it has proven to been a major source of passive income ever since i came across Mr Carlton Jefferson , his experience of forex market is unrivaled.
I get to earn a biweekly trading income of £19,000 pioneered by Mr Carlton Jefferson , ensuring sustainable profitability in my investments. I’d say things are working out perfect
hello, I would love to begin trading real money, but I'll need a guide. I don't wanna lose my money.Do anyone have his contact?
Make a video on future of private military. They have been used in Syria war by Russia and American government
good one!
@iuvenis animo Mercenarys are honest.
Also the UAE and Saudis are using them all over Africa and Yemen
Outer Heaven
China is also a major player.
As the younger generation I’m very happy to see That I’m not one of the only people who is educated in the sheer amount of corruption that flows through our government
thanks for watching!!
i wouldn't call it corruption sir. I believe the system keeps you safe and rich.

I like getting a ad of Eve Online that talks about people who profit's off in-game war's by building combat ship's for other faction's.
if you ever wanted to see how the economy can run to its full libertarian/anarcho capitalist potential eve online is your fish bowl
Dude this is the most peaceful high quality video I've ever seen covering the profit of mass murder. Great work!
Is it possible you attach the names of the movies from where you take the scenes? Id really love to watch all the movies you take clips from. Thank you. I know its too much to ask
Someone has probably left a similar request already, but still: if you ever consider doing another video on the war business, could you please include some information on private military?
And thank you so much for your work, your videos are very fascinating and engaging. I play debates and your videos help me with some topics really much!
ua-cam.com/video/ndtDay-pdaA/v-deo.html&t=
well people who leak information on private military got sent a cheerful bullet trough heart/head so its a little hard to get information on that
It would be nice if you shared more morally good business practices. Entrepreneurs or organizations that are having a positive impact on the world and are successful at it. I know good business practices exist, we just need to highlight them more.
How could I not click with a thumbnail like that!
thank you man!
Dude your gonna blow up big time your videos have some of the best quality I’ve seen on UA-cam
THANKS MAN!!
Love it how I've learned more on youtube on my own time while enjoying it, then in school is baffling to me. Great video can't wait what you do next!
THANKS!!
You should do your own research and everything said in this video is mostly conspiracy theories. None of it has been proven or a lot of it is based on paranoid dreamers reaching for facts
This is so relevant right now. Everybody gassed up, ready to get going. Humans.
I would be interested in a video on the economics of slavery and the information they don't teach you in schools. It was way more profitable than they ever let on.
10:29 "Send us over there" Yeah, like they're going to be sending you or your son.
This is really well put together, great job jake! This is very eye opening information for a lot, and I wish the news had picked up on a lot of these things when they happened. Very very awesome of you to put this all together.
THANKS AUSTIN!
Whose here after Russia invaded Ukraine
Lol
I Love this content. And the mentality of this person.
THANKS MAN!!
This is quality content for a samll channel pary for yt algorithm you will blow soon just keep the good work

Maybe you should follow this video's advice. You'll have enough to become normal Midoriya in no time.
I’ve been wanting to become one of these for ages and absolutely love these videos keep it up

I would love more of banking and war videos because your content style is just at least 10x better than that of a multimillion dollar television company! Keep the quality up, I love it!!
THANKS ALIM!!
A fine video that manages to stay both informative and entertaining. Would definitely like to see more, well done!
All this information is so sadly accurate. But hey! Who needs ethics when you can buy lives... I'd love to see more videos like this.
this video made me appreciate the power that the companies RED and BLU in the first-person shooter Team Fortress 2 had
Wow man your best work so far !!! Great job dude... Next video should be about the pointless war on drugs and how it's all a fallacy
THANKS MAN!!
By the way, this is an AMAZING video! Gathering information, presenting it in a captivating way, the INSANE amount of editing, gathering so many video clips etc. I know it takes MANY hours just to produce a video like this! You're AMAZING! Keep up the good fight! (Or keep up the good War in this case)
appreciate it Carlton!!
Forgot to say that after all of this is done you should get a few of the soldiers that survived and get them to talk to a big film studio so they can make a movie about the horrors of war where you may or may not get a percentage of their earnings
Nice Video!!
In my opinion one of the best newcomers on UA-cam!!
👍🏽
THANKS MAXIMILIAN!!
How do you become an arms dealer in the first place?"
"Back in the Navy we delivered guns all over the world, droppin' off guys with 20 crates of rifles for the local fighters, so they could knock over some dictator. Mind you, that’s not 20 crates of factory M16’s, these were illicit weapons, confiscated in some raid and then redistributed. No paper work, right? If a crate here or there goes missing, hey, it happens. Military teaches you two things: how to deal with bureaucracy, and how to avoid it. Learning how to avoid it means learning how to deal in arms. You muster out, you apply what you learned. Every gunman I have ever met got his start that way: losing illicit weapons in transport with national militaries."
"Did you ever choose sides in a conflict?"
"Ah I did it once, was a bad idea, cut my profits in half. Almost got me killed. Never again. You sell to both sides. You can help level the field, stabilize the market, draw out the conflict and make more money. A big sale to one side doesn’t generate repeat business. Both the APR and the UFLL are using my weapons. Now, they're in detente both sides are stockpiling. Less violence. More spending. It's perfect."
"But its anarchy! Thousands are dead, hundreds of thousands are displaced!"
"If I picked sides, fewer would be displaced but more would be dead; and I would probably be one of them."
What do you think you’re gonna achieve with this interview? You think somebody in the Pentagon's going to read it and come after me? Shit no, I’m a necessary evil. They want me here, they’re glad I’m here. Because if I wasn’t, they might have to come try to stem the tide. It would be thankless and worthless, and once the bodies started coming home in bags, they’re screwed. A dead twenty-three year old from Iowa gets more airtime than the death of fifty-thousand people he gave his life to protect. So even if they did give a shit, their own media prevents them from taking action."

Dude these videos are freaking amazing. Also your audio is top notch! How much postprocessing did it take for you to get to that point?
Loved this. Always have heard that war is business but never came across me THIS MUCH. Do make more of this
Damn dude. That blow my mind, i was just random dude that i clicked your video. Noice recommendation
THANKS DAUREN!
Wow man incredible job on this video. I really like the style of your content . Keep up the great work man :)
THANKS MAN!!
This is a topic most people have no idea about, let alone speak about. This rabbit hole runs deep. You did a nice job in 16 minutes.

Guess money has just too tempting
I've always wanted to invest in forex/stock trading, after a few trials I realized that trading without a good mentor and guidance is a waste of time and money.
Despite the rampant scams among account Managers, i highly recommend that as beginner, you should find a good expert trader to help and guide you through the beginners phase of forex trading so that you don't lose money and Mr Andy Calistoga is a trusted man i can recommend
Money is never satisfactory because you keep looking out for more and more. I've alway learned that wealth Is created in the mind and that has helped me sites profitable opportunities when I see one.
I'm having a wonderful time trading with Mr Andy Calistoga . His trading system is simply the best. I traded for almost two months without making a single profit but all that changed with Mr Andy around
I’ve heard a lot about Mr Andy from different individuals, I’ll like to give him a try can you help me with his email address so I can communicate with him
(Andycali924 @ yahoo çom)
I like how some people look down on you because you didn’t “serve” in the military. These are the people that have no clue about this.
Lord of War was Nicholas Cage's best movie and while it was a work of fiction, it was also it was very much true in its allegorical themes
Good job using it for this video
Mass respect 👍
Lord of war is based on real people, a lot of it is made up but basically the scenes with the cargo boat, and any interactions with the Russians are based on true events. If I remember correctly. You probably know this just had to clarify it was bothering me lol.

Honestly, a tear came out. I hope something good comes out of this epidemic. Hopefully we set a side our differences. Love one another help our fellow humans grow.
thanks for watching!!
Hard times create hard men, I see conflict rising after this if anything sadly I hope I’m wrong tho
@@decanusseverus8773 boy oh boy you were right.
This aged like milk. Plus some people are getting profits from the russo-ukrainian war. I wish i was them.
An economy built on anger cannot run forever.
Well it sure can
Normally it can't when war is involved it certainly can
What do you mean it has been running for the last 3000 years, you really think it's gonna be any different
@@gredausvemiru6236 America is 3,000 years old? I hate to break it to you, but most nations can't and don't run their economy on military conquest, since it is not a viable model.
@@redengineer4380 And Rome is the biggest example of that.
Thank you for bringing so much attention to the cost plus payment structure. It's a huge issue in government spending that goes way beyond just war spending, and more people need to understand its absurdity. Great videos!
