Spending money on war... colossal waste of money, another reason for peace

I have recently watched a video about war price and after I watched that video, I find that spending money on war is a colossal waste of money!!! Did you know that the price of 1 jetfighter can build lots of pharmacies. The price of a tank can build schools that can hold thousands of students.
For more info on this and see how war is ridiculous, go to:
www.luccaco.com/wewerehumans/
It is a interesting video.

Although I don't like war, it's sometimes necessary to defeat evil, such as Hitler in WWII.
As the saying goes, "If you want peace, get ready for war."
This is reality, unfortunately.

The same Sun Tzu has also said that ;
"War is not a thing to be trifled with"
Talking about the recent crisis, a full fledged attack or war could have been surely averted through diplomacy and other tactics.
So many innocent lives could have been spared.

We need to invest more money into Education, Poverty reduction and disease control, not WAR.

War is completely sign of human immaturity, just like beating my younger ones instead of directing them on what to do. untill maturity comes for us to see clearly the values of lives and care for it .

THE TRUTH IS THAT WHETHER FOR WAR OR FOR PEACE MONEY MUST BE SPENT .I MEAN HUGE EXPENDITURE:[/quote]FIRSTLY ON SECURITY / SELF DEFENCE : "ALL HUMANITY LOVE PEACE BUT ITS JUST THAT WE ALL PERCIEVE PEACE AND GOES ABOUT ACHIEVING PEACE DIFFERENTLY AND THIS CONFLICT OF PERCEPTION IS WHAT BRINGS ABOUT WAR. AND SINCE MONEY IS USELESS EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE IT SERVES: IF YOU THEN REFUSE TO SPEND THE MONEY AT YOUR DISPOSAL TO EQUIP AND FORTIFY YOURSELF AND AT THE SAME TIME BE A SHIELD TO THE WEAK AND THE HELPLESS AROUD YOU KNOWING THAT IT IS IN THE PEACE OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU THAT YOU WILL HAVE PEACE THEN IF YOU REFUSE TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR CARING S MUSH ABOUT THAT IS USELESS EXCEPT IT IS BEEN SPENT THEN AN UNDERDOG OPPOSITION WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MONEY WILL COME AGAINST YOU ,DEFEAT YOU ,TAKE ALL THE MONEY YOU CARE ABOUT FROM YOU AND MAKE YOU A SLAVE.SO TO HAVE AND MAINTAIN PEACE YOU MUST BE READY TO SPEND AND BE SPENT ON WAR .[quote]

War, is a unique and necessary but unwanted crutch.

Ever wondered what got the USA out of the great depression.... it was war, Ware, pushed the USA's resources into overtime mobilizing its workforce and giving them jobs and boosting its economy. At the very core of the war issue, capitalism is a key factor here.
I am not going to go too deep into this rabbit hole because i can rant for hours on this, but understand this, you cant eradicate war by simply wishing it away.
You need to analyze the political and practical reasons for war, along with this neglected economic issue as well.
Once this is done, you will realise that in order to eradicate war, you will need to eradicate capitalism, religions, discrimination, political correctness and republic nations in favor of a unified sphere.
These are major hurdles that wont be deal with overnight. Eve i admit that when i first realised the links in the chain and what needed to be done, i was dumbstruck at its scale.
Hope this helps clear this up and helps you realise, there is more to war than just blowing stuff up, and leaves the situation far more complex than saying.." give me the money that it cost to make one tomahawk missile so i can build 100 schools."
Sad but true!

Just look at the GDP for the largest arms manufactures in the world, US is by far surviving on arms exports to conflict regions of the world, and then playing the peacekeeping role, IRONIC!
