Topic: War instead of cooperation let's run the numbers here (Read 8 times)

Cooperation can potentially save countries around $120 billion annually while generating additional economic growth opportunities worth trillions over time compared to engaging in military conflict.


Military spending varies significantly across countries. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global military expenditure reached approximately $2 trillion in 2021. This figure includes costs related to personnel, equipment, operations, and maintenance. For instance, the United States alone spent about $800 billion in 2021 on its military.


The costs of war extend beyond direct military expenditures. They include:

Human Costs: Loss of life and long-term injuries.
Economic Disruption: Destruction of infrastructure leads to reduced economic productivity.
Refugee Crises: Wars often result in large numbers of displaced persons, creating humanitarian crises that require significant resources to address.


Assume a hypothetical scenario where two neighboring countries decide to cooperate instead of engaging in conflict over mineral resources.

Estimate Military Savings: If each country spends $50 billion on military expenditures annually (a conservative estimate), this results in a combined saving of $100 billion per year if they choose cooperation.

Potential Economic Growth from Trade Liberalization: If cooperation leads to a reduction in tariffs resulting in increased trade worth an additional $20 billion annually between them due to enhanced market access.



Total Annual Benefit Calculation:

Military Savings: $100 billion
Increased Trade Revenue: $20 billion
Total Annual Benefit = $100 billion + $20 billion = $120 billion
Long-Term Impacts: Over a decade, this could amount to approximately $1.2 trillion if sustained annually without accounting for compounding effects or additional economic growth resulting from stable relations.


So the main conclusion is simple: some Nations want to spend a lot for military and wars because they are not sadisfied with cooperation they don't care about losing lifes or that they have to spend so much Money for military it seems like they want just other nations don't have nothing !!
This clearly show's that we have mindset of top military complex nations that instead of cooperation and trade agreements they just want to be dominant and they don't make agreements or mutual cooperation but they want just to be masters and others to be under them and they don't care how much money or how many people must die for that that's the point the ultimate domination and power so that others don't have nothing.
