It is always cheaper to sacrifice someone else's life rather than your own. Now that's cheap!
I would take another look at your European masters' grand plan...
Japan income tax 5-23%
US income tax 10-24%
Russia income tax 13-15%
Europe income tax 15-55%
※ Plus the inflationary tax they print to pay for the wars.
Of course there is always bitcoin to defund these wars.
