For the US, wars are very profitable. The renewed Russian aggression against Ukraine was a big part of increasing exports enough so that the GDP looked positive during the Biden term. It's such a misleading metric and laypersons don't even understand how much manipulation there is.

That's so true. It's the same playbook FDR used with the New Deal and subsequently WW2, which eventually boosted gvt spending (and GDP with it). This is one of the reasons FDR is hailed as a hero in mainstream circles.

Absolutely. We've not had a decade in our existence without war, something like 95% of the time since US started we've been warring somewhere or another. There's a reason the military industrial complex thrives 🙄
