I use to believe the narrative that ‘war was profitable’. Everyone said it.

But I now realise that’s not true. that #war is funded through printing #currency, which will further inflate and debase the currency making the country poorer and more in debt.

See thread for further avenues of it being a cost.

Some groups will definitely profit for their arms deals etc. But by and large the #governments and its people become poorer.
