What really is war today?
source
My heart goes out for all the innocent people dying in the current war between Israel and Iran and the US. Thankfully I'm not in any of those countries and I think because I'm not, I become the observer looking at things from the grand scheme of it. The question I ask myself is what really is war?
A bomb costs about $100,000 to make. A plane, filled with these burns about $40,000 worth of fuel per hour. And that plane itself, costs about $100 million.
But at the opposite end of that spectrum, we have a person who lives on less than $10 a day. It was one of those thoughts that came to me when I was watching the news on YouTube. It was a little thing and even somewhat insignificant, but at this particular point in my life, I think I was able to understand just how bad off we are as a human race.
War is political, they claim it’s necessary. It’s indeed complex. And, of course, there is and probably always will be a lot of politics involved and a lot of history too. But at its heart, the economics of war are simple. And they reduce everything that’s said about war to being nothing more than false statements about how much money was taken from someone who probably spent their morning worried about how they were going to put bread on their table. It’s not an accident, the truth is that it’s the basis of war.
It’s also, I think, where my most jumbled weird thoughts come from. I don’t want to reduce a human being to a number, that’s just not right. But I also think that the numbers do show us that we place very little value on a human being. .
