    The book's message rings like a wakeup call, even if it's an uncomfortable one for the pacifists out there. War makes the world go 'round.https://n.pr/2pfsPLP

        I think it will remain so. It's the one thing we've come together over as the human race. The pale blue dot put it into perspective for me, along with Carl Sagan's soul penetrating words.pic.twitter.com/2iD1xdK4nj

        Oh Lord, this line is disgusting: "Everyone benefits from the unspoken alliance." The victims of war do not benefit from this alliance.

        What complete nonsense. Anti-war/anti-imperialists know about these connections and the evil they perpetrate upon the world, that's why we're screaming things must change! It's everyone else that seems oblivious to how thoroughly rotten and war based this system is.

        I think this is an obvious connection that we sweep under the rug often. We know about the military-industrial complex. This is absolutely connected to space exploration, physics, and many other sciences. Hoping the book is well written!

        As long as someone is stronger than someone with nicer stuff, there will be war.

        Where is the money from the tariffs going? What institution pockets that? Are the tariffs a travesti to make up for tax cuts and make-up the government funding?
