Wars are big money-makers for the rich. The only reason Trump is still in office is because he is being protected by the rich and powerful, through their political toadies in the republican party. Trump is making them a lot richer, and he's getting all the blame from those who are being hurt. That's been very good for the rich, and for the political toadies that do their bidding (republican and democrat). When the greed machine blows up the economy, again, as it's bound to do, they'll all blame it on Trump, and on the "other guys" in office, and use their excessive wealth to buy up even more of the country and the world at crash prices. And then they'll move on into the next cycle of economic rape. They have the system fully rigged, and they will continue doing this so long as the rest of us continue letting them. War is just part of the big 'greed game' we're all living in, now. So are the Donald Trumps.
