      Shareholders in weapons production specifically. You could have made construction company shareholders wealthy and at least you would have ended up with some useful things out of it rather than a bunch of dead people and creating a new generation that will hate you for good reason.

        Except a lot of construction companies are A) owned by the same shareholders and B) get filthy rich rebuilding what the weapons producers blew up and Congress get the inside trades and votes on who gets the no bid contracts. Black rock, vanguard and state street are the primary shareholders in almost everything too. It’s a big corrupt orobus

    I do not expect the US to have invested nearly as much money into infrastructure as they did into war, but I think it’d be nice to include it. The chinese spending on military as well.

    And we’re not even counting Iran’s war (which is apparently not a war) nor the consequences of it.

    The US of Magastan are a blight and the sooner they fall the better for the world.
