Countries pay now for military companies like lockhead maartin and baes.
Imagine for example NATO countries pay for equipment now and later when those countries struggle financially they need to borrow money and they get money from the same companies who they pay now.
So why pay that money lol ....If they have to borrow the same money back later.
So it's like i steal your money and then i offering to you Im generous i give you with low rate loan lol 😁 your own money.
World is in money crisis only ones who got fat wallets of money will be military companies but they will not help.
The military industrial complex has been milking most governments for a hell of a long time, this is far from a new development. They often end up charging obscene amounts for even the most trivial of items, because they often have to go through rigorous testing processes in order to claim certification for a certain purpose, yet they realistically are often produced at a much lower market price. There is sometimes corruption involved and senior politicians can also play a part in this, there are all sorts of ways these abuses can creep in. That being said, the military is often the last protector of any country and needs to be very strong if you want to project power elsewhere.
