” look we are as an British company are having to prepare for world war 3 so are having to focus on that and profitability there just isn’t anyway to give you an raise”
They mention the top countries by military expenditure as a percentage of GPD, yet somehow neglect to mention North Korea, which should pretty comfortably be among the very top.
Bet they are, billions of tax-payers cash to flood into their coffers.
When public services are on their knees.
“They are all drawing up plans to keep running during wartime, and Crump is surprisingly blunt about their reasoning: a global conflict may be just two years away.”
Well imagine how shit his business plan would be if his tagline was “guys, I think they’re just going to end up talking this all through”.
Sounds very sensible and I agree: I think Europe will be at war with Russia in some form within the next 5 years unless the current trajectory changes radically.
Our best hope of avoiding it, unfortunately for Ukraine, is that their forever war keeps going and most of the Russian armed forces are kept tied up and attrited there.
Because once they’re free of Ukraine they will suddenly have a huge military, with cutting edge tech and tactics and recent combat experience, at a loose end. And Putin would dearly love to bait the EU by taking a small chunk of Latvia or Norway and daring them to take it back plus he needs constant war for domestic suppression.
The US will obviously be useless, if not actively unhelpful, so Europe will be on their own and they need to arm up before Russia can disentangle itself.
Don’t see why we really should fight a war tbh.
All that’s going to happen is rich people will profit massively, loads of innocent people will die.
A third world war would spiral into an AI based warfare hellscape if it went on for long enough.
Should just support countries to support their current borders and leave it at that
Yea right, just look at the Russian war. The vast majority of big brands are not only engaging in war profiteering, they use it as a sales pitch on their social media to attract investors (as shareholder benefits) as a result of shameless profitability and late-stage capitalism over ethics and human lives.
It’s a click bait headline for goodness sake. Typical telegraph.
Great I think it would be fantastic to send all tbe c suite executive class of Black Rock & Goldman Sachs off to war, so we can get back to managing our own economy
