Скачать или смотреть War, Inc.: Human Conflict as a Business Model (Part III)

Part III analyzes the war in Ukraine as a perfect proxy war—one that allows major powers to confront each other indirectly while outsourcing the human cost. Framed as a moral crusade, the conflict provides endless justification for weapons production, military aid packages, and alliance expansion, all without clear victory conditions or timelines.

“Military aid” largely functions as a domestic stimulus for defense contractors, recycling taxpayer money into arms production while modernizing arsenals through real-time battlefield testing. NATO experiences a revival in relevance, budgets surge, and escalation becomes normalized—while peace talks are treated as taboo or betrayal.

The war’s most likely outcome is not resolution but a frozen conflict: sustained militarization, permanent insecurity, and long-term profitability. When war becomes sustainable and morally branded, peace becomes disruptive, and disruption is bad for business.
