Does America fight any War besides Corporate?

Question

Oil

Answer 1

It's always a combination of national security and national interests (primarily economic concerns). There's huge money in defense contracts, hence the corporations connected to defense wield big power. Congress is reluctant to really crackdown on fraud and price gouging. With war, connected companies have great opportunity for profiteering like no bid contracts.

The war on drugs is a farce, pure pork barrel politics.

We will kill for oil. We will target a guy like Chavez in Venezuela for being too populist and having oil reserves.

Objectively, there has to be a plausible security concern to garner support for military warfare.

Answer 2

The big picture is the United States and the rest of the World are at war with each other. These are called economic wars, where each Nation is trying to be the big dog in trade, money, influence and ect... ect.... sometimes when this fails or they cannot do it the will try hard core war. Bullets and bombs..The will use any means, such as terrorism to influence a country's interest or subdue them. Example is Spain...Where they bowed down to them...Oil is just one tool to side track the people or Nations from the real problem......You have to do more research to see a little light.. Just saying it's about oil shows how much you are in tune with the world's politics and economics....or would I say your ignorance in the affairs.
