Starting a new war for profit?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/why-americ ... ar/5328631
And old article, but do you think it will happen in the next few years?
Start up another war so the rich can get richer? Lots of money to be made in government contracts to support a new war.
No. The Iraq War was very bad for American public finances so I don't think anyone would view a war as anything more than a necessary waste.
I note the article's conspiratorial tone, and some of the assumptions it makes are shaky, to say the least. For example, it suggests that America left the Great Depression due to the Second World War, but American GDP had begun to rise by 1934. By 1940, it was already at pre-crash levels. By Pearl Harbour, it was well ahead of pre-crash levels. America's recovery was due to wider economic development.
There are doubtless many industries that benefit from war, but overall it's not as good for the economy as, say, waiting a few years.
