It’s not just about weapons being created; wars persist because money is printed out of thin air. Before the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, nation-states had to think long and hard before starting a war. That was a contributor to nation-state's low preferrence.
But after that, any oppressive government, especially the ones with a Qentilion effect being an ally to the US, could easily fund conflict to undermine the sovereignty of others.
Did you know the top weapons manufacturers have some of the best banking facilities in the world? It’s no coincidence—wars thrive when money and power are disconnected from accountability.
Have you checked saifedean (npub1gdu…6nak)'s books? he has great takes on this.
