Let's talk here no openly and honestly.
there is limited time for each of us and limited resources like water minerals and all others.
Happy times, existing and illusion of middle class only if banks keeping credit open.
In reality people want to live good life, you can't work at natural minerals place and mine them all day long and same time to enjoy good restorants or other Luxury life.
Elite who ever they would be trump Putin or any other ones want just Luxury life for them off course to enjoy life fully and for their group of people and family.
So instead of wars wich all fought over who will rule over the slaves, and who owns resources, so they should put just slave tax 60%-80% instead of all the wars.
Or we just work for them for food and shelter
Its just how the world works, so you choose who you are slave or slave owner, you can't get all the good same time maybe the AI and bots robots can change the system for better, because nobody don't want to do work wich is unpleasent
So ofc elite use war to force and scare people to take from them also but it's too much violance and destruction....slave tax or slave fee system will be without blood.- so you own nothing and no wars -
Wars and slavery are just tools for authoritarian, anti-human, or regimes built on religious fanaticism.
Slave owners (e.g. Russia, North Korea, ...) and/or religious fanatics (Iran, ...) have the goal of total control and management of the population of their country. They need primitive obedience, and animal fear of not worshiping power or not recognizing power as sacred and “given by the Almighty”.
Wars are necessary to divert the attention of their slaves from reality, where the “Great Leader of the people” once again turned out to be an idiot, which led to another problem in his country. The ideal is to start a war, and even more so if a neighboring country has shown an example of how to deal with criminal power, which becomes a real threat to the existence of such tyrants.
If everything is clear with such an international criminal/terrorist as Putin, what Trump is trying to achieve is not clear. So far, all his actions are aimed at destabilizing the US economy and alienating it from the civilized world. I am not a supporter of “conspiracy theories”, but it looks like someone is holding Donald very tightly by his “bells”
