That's MMT thinking: We are the #1 Arms dealer of the World. That generates a whole lotta business unto itself. Few to none ever talk about that. And this is only one of the benefits of our NATO Alliances. If NATO didn't exist there'd be no need to invent it. The enemies of the NATO countries are now internal. Eurostan has been successfully invaded and conquered. They must now submit to Islam or lose votes. Russia is only 150 million relatively poor people spread over a large part of a continent. They do have megatons of atomic bombs but those are only useful in self defence in existential crisis. The absurd idea that they are out to take over Eurostan or even just the old Warsaw Pact countries is ridiculous. They've had a lot of trouble just taking over the east of Ukraine which is Russian and supports them. There wouldn't be any advantage in conquering Germany even if they could, though it would stop the bloody Germans from their current plan of yet again sending Barbarossa tanks to take over Russia - what is it with Germans? France is wanting a reenactment of the 1812 Overture and UK Pommy Bastards are wanting a replay of The Charge of the Light Brigade into Crimea. I recommend the Eurostan commies fix their own countries and do it quickly rather than start WWIII and be evaporated in thermonuclear obliteration. Back to your economics of making money from supplying weapons. If you add up the market capitalisation of Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and all those, it's not even $1 trillion. Just Apple is $3 trillion. Tesla is about $1 trillion. There's $10 trillion just in the main Cyberspace companies. The weapons companies are dead-end spending. The Cyberspace companies leverage everything else into Mecca Barbra Streisand scale cash flow and here comes It aka AI to go orders of magnitude more. The million people killed in and around Ukraine won't be doing any of your MMT Money Velocity. The weapons spending is useless, but worse than useless, it's negative = economic collapse because dead people and destroyed things produce zero money velocity even if MMT sends out $billions and $trillions of brand new free money to family and friends of the prolific pixelators of pecuniary profusion. You sure do think differently from me. Making bombs and guns and killing millions of people and blowing things up is to me insanity. But you think it's an economically good thing. Evolution and natural selection will determine who's right about what's the best thing to do. Survivors define reality. If the military maniacs succeed in killing 95% or even 99% of people around the world, there will be survivors in the hinterlands of Australia and Brazilian jungle, Papua highlands and here and there. At least there would be less blather about CO2 = it's an ill wind that blows nobody good. Mqurice
