I don’t think I’m understanding.
The Iraq war lasted so long because the military industrial complex wants endless wars to keep making money off us. Drones or not, it doesn’t really matter because they’re just printing the money to do it. If they had to raise taxes to pay for all that spending people would riot.
You've never lived in the UK. You've never fought in the wars that they've waged. I can't describe war to you. Sorry, lad! You won't understand!🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
The entire BRICS compact means that waging these conflicts will, in turn, become more costly for countries who are in opposition of them and less costly for the those which are allied. So, if living costs become more expensive for UK and US citizens, it means that domestic conflicts are more likely to escalate. If that happens, than it would be far less beneficial for the UK to allie with the US.
"If they had to raise taxes to pay for all that spending people would riot."
You're still misunderstanding. As long as the US dollar keeps losing value as the global reserve currency, they will continue to raise taxes (which they just prosoposed to do so today). And people are beginning to riot! In the UK, people are beginning to become outraged about issues such as Sunak's conscription plan, the rise in living costs, bad public education and a handful of other matters. The US is not exempt from the outcomes of these problems. Just observe how high the unemployment rate has become in the US. The UK is no different.
