Is advocating for unnecessary wars in order to increase profits immoral?

[msc545]

I'm talking about wars like Iraq which was started based on lies or wars like Afghanistan which was prolonged for 20 years in order to ensure US defense industry profits in the US. Or wars like Gaza which was started for the same reason and continues even now.

I realize that under capitalism almost nothing is immoral, but this particular practice is pernicious in my opinion and has gotten completely out of control.

Afghanistan War started because 9/11, Gaza War started because 7 October, both are because Islamic Aggression, Israel lost lot of money in the War, didn't Profits from it.

Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9-11 although that was the excuse, and it lasted for 20 years because it was so profitable for the US war industry. Gaza began because the US sabotaged peace efforts and persuaded Ukraine to try to join NATO - in violation of promises made previously to Russia regarding missiles literally on their border. The US war industry profited immensely from the war in Gaza and continues to do so.

you have no idea what your talking about. October 7th happened due to Iran being worried about the Abraham accords.

[thearchjoker]

the reason it happned spesificly on that day was because 50 years beforehand multiple Arab nations attacked Israel on its most holy holiday with an assault on all fronts. that was is known as the Yom Kippur war which ended up with Israel giving their attackers a crushing defeat that only ended because the USSR and America put pressure on Israel to stop where it did or the Arabs would have lost even harder.

@thearchjoker Bullshit.

[Levin]

Well, who would say that is moral.

Unfortunately shitbags are in charge. And what is even worse, is that the people, to a significant degree, support them and allow themselves to be indoctrinated.

It's 110% immoral, as it benefits defense contractors at the expense of killing innocet people, many women and children. It's also immoral to smear everyone who opposes these unnecessary wars, and 99% of the time, the people doing the smearing, are the last one's willing to sign up to fight in these unnecessary wars. I remember when Tulsi was smeared as an Assad apologist for opposing war in Syria.

You do realize atheist communists killed more of their own citizens than all the way casualties post WW2 of all US wars combined...

Gaza absolutely didn't start because of the US, that's backwards and ignorant.

[Sevenpointfive]

you know it! we don't need a war to keep the war machine going.

[msc545]

Tell that to the war machine.

[Sevenpointfive]

you mean the laundering machine

[msc545]
