I said want, not provoke. Getting caught actively provoking war would instantly end a corporation in many jurisdictions. I have no proof of them doing that, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if some do. SAAB? Probably not. American ones at least can easily affect policy by financing politicians, particularly presidents.
So you’re just discussing in bad faith here. How the hell do you know the CEO (or the management) “wants” war but does not want to “provoke war”? Are you a mind reader?
Or are you one of those people thinking we shouldn’t have an army?
I also notice the “USA BAD” bias, what about russia, they do want war and provoke it.
Mate I’m Estonian, Russia is bad by default, it doesn’t even need discussion. You don’t think Russian military industry CEOs and owners didn’t cream their pants when Putin invaded Ukraine again? Chemezov is super happy about it for one, he’s also very happy that western companies are no longer competing with him on the Russian market.
The CEOs of military industrial companies, like any other CEOs, are going to make more money if the company’s numbers are better. If a war happening in bumfuck nowhere doubles the Christmas bonus of one of those bloodsuckers, you bet they’ll cheer for it. It’s not like war affects them personally. And it’s hella fucking profitable.
I’m not anti military spending, I’m anti capitalists profiting from bloodshed. Military industry shouldn’t be profitable. It should be nationalised.
