As much as people do not like speaking about it, war has allowed humanity to make ridiculous advances in many fields... Even if the means were sometimes extremely unethical.

The US knew Japan would take the bait which would enable the US to join also in Europe. More war = more production of war shit. The US debt also saw it's largest spike (in terms of percentage of GDP) ever after joining the war, so the economic benefit there was questionable, to say the least. The US was also in the unique position of fighting the war despite having little-to-no risk of damage on domestic soil.

Like... the US dropped around 10 trillion into two wars last decade that weren't even particularly large or fought on home turf, and people still think it's a profitable venture? For srs? Its not like that money disappears into the nether though It goes to all sorts of private companies like Halliburton and whatnot which gives war lobbyists even more sway to bribe politicians Our country is transparently corrupt to an almost hilarious extent --- If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood <cite>Mead posted [p:925105581] in Which is b...

If you spend millions of dollars on a munitions factory that gets blown up by your enemy, yeah, that money effectively did "disappear into the nether". And while the contractor might have made some money, if their head office gets flattened in the same strike they effectively didn't make a profit either. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
