There's nothing confusing! Here's the strategy:
- Make up reason to go to war.
- Declare war (or don't but still do war without an official declaration).
- Do war.
- More war.
- Profit! Make up another reason and go back to the beginning.
It's best if the war is against an intangible thing that cannot possibly be defeated ("war on drugs", "war on terror", etc.) in that case you get unlimited profit.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention: a lot of innocent people who originally had no reason or will to be an adversary will die, in some cases, very slow, horrible deaths, including all sorts of torture, but that's all ok because the rich will be making MORE MONEY! Justice, human lives, human suffering, all those trivial things are irrelevant when confronted by profit.
You know what,a lot of your comments are better than the actual articles linked to.
This is a perfect example of what I mean.
Thanks! :)
