Reply #16: When has any war not been for money?

[DUlover2909]

I bet any war you can think of has somehow, in some way, been motivated by the leaders to protect economic interests. Even defensive wars. Even the Cold War. Even the American Revolution. Money makes the world go round. Wars are a way for governments to make sure the right people continue to get paid and the wealth stays where they want it to stay. The Russian Revolution is a perfect example of trying to reverse the economics of emperialist capitalism. Any time I see a war start I look to see where the money is involved. I don't have access to all the information so I never get a clear picture, but my gut feeling always turns out to be right.
