Yes, Eisenhower warned about the Military-Industrial Complex, but he also was the president that set it up. Remember that the Cold War began largely under his administration and he was obligated to meet it with military potential. Remember, too, that it was France that precipitated the eventuality of the War in Vietnam which was basically a French-created problem that was handed over to the U.S. But also, when the U.S. ended its war in 1973 and finally withdrew all presence in 1975, millions of people died in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos at the hands of communists.

The common goal among the rich and powerful is wealth and power, not peace, with additional "must" of a much less populated world. They plan's to live luxurious lives with their families and best friends in already-built beautiful underground bunkers that can easily withstand a nuclear holocaust, with enough servants, supplies and beautiful homes for the net 100 years or more. People with less financial mans have built deep bunkers, without the bells and whistles, just enough to get them through rough times. It's a huge business. Although radioactive fallout can take as long as 10,000 years to leave the atmosphere depending on how close you are to the actual blast site, the powerful know where the blast sites lie; the masses don't matter (unless they're already working underground). If we mattered, we wouldn't be on the crest of complete obliteration. (Ever seen "The Book of Eli?")

LOL she got offended by the term Military Industrial Complex.

3:00 Hey guys, "In 2020, the top 100 arms-producing and military services companies recorded combined sales of $531 billion." Looks lucrative? The annual revenue of Walmart in 2020 was $599 billion. One single retail corporation in the US can earn more money than the top 100 military-industrial complexes combined. According to SIPRI data, South Korea has increased arms transfer more than 5 times from 2015 to 2020. Why? Because their American friends asked them to provide ASEAN counties, such as the Philippines and Indonesia, with their affordable military equipment so that can help these countries not rely on Chinese or Russian weapons (and help Indians reduce their dependence on Russian equipment. But Seoul failed to meet the goal because Indians preferred Russian technology). Seoul has sometimes provided these Asian nations that don't have budgets with their used coast guard ships free of charge. How much did Seoul earn? Well, it would have been much better for them just to make and sell much more cell phones. It's not the business of satisfying appetite. This is the business of necessity.

If I lived next to Russia I'd want all the weapons I could afford.

At this point, it really doesn't matter which countries are in conflict. The outcome is the same. Business goes on, the profits are paid in and the innocent suffer. The names of the ego-driven, war-waging countries are interchangeable. War is still the best and most profitable business in the world. In the 50's when Eisenhower spoke of the "Military Industrial Complex", it was still possible to discern the one from the other. Today the players have since become obscured, behind layers of mist and shadows. All the chess pieces have the same color. Blood red.
