War is a business, and every superpower’s in on it. The U.S. floods allies with weapons. Russia arms dictators. China trades tech for control. Europe talks peace, but sells arms to conflict zones. It’s not defense—it’s profit. No side is clean. The game isn’t peacekeeping, it’s market share. Until the business model breaks, the killing won’t stop.
