The US-American MIC cannot simply be made disappear. The mentality for permanent armament has been fortified by a militarized history and by the lobbyism of NRA. Owning weapons has become part of America's cultural DNA. '''The people needed the economic crash to realize that in the end they cannot eat weapons.''' The spending on private weapons and state-owned war machines took away from their own pockets and betrayed them of development opportunities. (Overemphasis of Eisenhower's words of wrong budget spending.) | The US-American MIC cannot simply be made disappear. The mentality for permanent armament has been fortified by a militarized history and by the fear-mongering lobbyism of NRA. Owning weapons has become part of America's cultural DNA.

With the installment of WCG smaller states were "encouraged" to give up their military very soon so that they could concentrate on maintaining and modernizing the many different types of infrastructure, foster research and guarantee a minimum of social security while a future-proof economy was the new most top objective. Military enforced geopolitics and proxy wars were no longer tolerated. | With the installment of WCG smaller states were "encouraged" to give up their military very soon so that they could concentrate on maintaining and modernizing the many different types of infrastructure, foster research and guarantee a minimum of social security while a future-proof economy was the new most top objective. Military enforced geopolitics and proxy wars were no longer tolerated. On paper borders stopped existing. For these reasons - and to beat down any dissenters left - the military of old Superpowers were united into the WCG "freedom forces". | ||
