The US and Nato countries spend $1.5-trillion of the $2-trillion spent globally each year on war preparations. Russia, by comparison, spent $41bn in 2021
Thousands of people in Europe are dying of excessive heat. People in Asia, Africa and Latin America are losing their lives and livelihoods to floods. US states are burning. It is time the international community realises the US war business is by far the world’s worst polluter and contributor to climate change. The US and Nato countries spend $1.5-trillion of the $2-trillion spent globally each year on war preparations . A fraction of that could alleviate this global crisis.
The US has lost every war it waged since World War 2, but Washington doesn’t care as long as the profits flow back to their war business sponsors. Having systematically provoked Russia into the war in Ukraine for years, it is now losing that war.
