SouthAmerica: I posted the following information on the Financial Times (UK) website on Martin Wolf's forum on the discussion regarding economic issues as follows:

The US Military Industrial Complex became a very important piece of the US economy for about the last 70 years, since the 1940âs.
For a long time the United States has been the number one arms dealer around the world.
Why peace on the Middle East it is just a mirage?
Here is the actual US government strategy for a few decades:
The US taxpayer supplies Israel with foreign aid â mostly military armaments. In turn that creates more demand from the US Military Industrial Complex to supply armaments to countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and so onâ¦
Now we go back to the original question: What is the role of the state?
Is it part of the role of the state, as it is the case in the United States, to cause conflict around the world to keep its Military Industrial Complex busy at home building all kinds of toys to sell around the world?
The US government has been doing a great job in that area: Iraq, Afghanistan, Middle East in general, Taiwan, North Korea, Iran, many parts of Africa, Venezuela, Colombia, Germany, Japan and so onâ¦
In a Nutshell:
The reality is, the US government needs to create on a constant basis the perception that some kind of threat is out there against the United States.
