US Military-Industrial Complex Drives Conflict and Economic Interests

US Military-Industrial Complex Drives Conflict and Economic Interests

Imagine the US, which once warned against the power of the military-industrial complex, now plays a major role in it.

This complex makes money by selling weapons and is linked to how safe the country feels and how well the economy is doing.

When the US gets involved in conflicts, like in Iran, it creates a cycle where more weapons are needed, benefiting the arms industry.

Iran is also becoming important because it has many valuable minerals.

This means that even though everyone talks about peace, the system often favors making money from conflict.
