War is a Racket

When different ideologies, perspectives, and political views collide, it can result in serious conflict, leading to war. A timely example of this would be the ongoing dispute between Russia and Ukraine. If you look right into the main root of all strife (including this one), it all boils down to a pointless motive fueled by greed. And this unnecessary feud requires perpetual spending, which can lead to severe ramifications.

All of this for what? Ah yes, personal gain for power and money. Business interests commercially benefit from all warfares amidst the mass human suffering, and today Bryan will be discussing a specific book that explains that proposition very well.

This episode may be different from the previous ones, but this is undoubtedly a must-hear.
