Can the world pull out from the war economy before a collapse?

All signs worldwide point to a war economy.

Europez and America keep getting more and more invested in armaments and their manufacture.
The middle east is at the center of it as always. Now also Russia.
Now even Asian countries are contributing more and more to severely fronts.

History has shown us that when the worldwide economy focuses on war the turbulence leads to a global collapse of many otherwise considered vital parts of the economy eventually. Is it too late to stop this potential outcome right on its tracks by now? Or will the warmongers keep us all implicated till the bitter end?

The biggest problems in the world right now basically come down to four men who should have let go or never been given power in the first place: Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladmir Putin. They are all worthless human beings trying to stir up war for the sole reason of keeping themselves in power. China has not yet stooped to the lows of the others, but they still threaten and bully neighbors while promising one day to invade democratic Taiwan. Trump is possibly one of the worst human beings to ever walk the planet for how far he has managed to diminish America in so many ways while ruining the world economy with all his abuses like tariffs and starting a failed war with Iran - yet he's gained absolutely nothing from all of it. Putin is a tyrant who needed a distraction because he's done nothing to benefit Russia or diversify it's economy in his decades since getting power. Netanyahu keeps power with support from religious fantasists who are pretty much as bad as the worst Islamists, he also goaded the stupidest president ever into starting the war on Iran but every prior president knew what a disaster that would be. The world would be a lot better place if it wasn't run by senile old men who have little future ahead of them, wanting to drag us all down. The world needs to heal and unite again but will struggle to do so with such vicious leaders in charge. Frankly religion is a big source of problems too and everyone tries so hard to ignore that.

It's so easy to change course, but we need to go back to progressive policies and try to prevent protectionism while stopping economic abuse. It can all get better again if just one or two of these leaders were replaced by much better people. Unfortunately it's easier for politicians to stoke division, stir hatred and destroy things compared to the longer, hard and "boring" road of constructing a brighter future.

Thing is, defense budgets are about the only thing politicians on all sides agree on. Nobody ever lost an election for being "too strong on security". So a voluntary U-turn isn't happening.

What usually ends these cycles is more money printed and a more indebted public. Which is exactly the purpose of a war. The western titanic has hit the iceberg, and everyone on politics is just stealing everything before the collapse.

The leaders of the countries with most powerful armies seem to have gone nuts.
As long as this situation stays, it's not an oddity that everybody is preparing for the worse.

Given that the ongoing wars also made energy overly expensive, many businesses switched to making war related products simply to survive until better times will come.
Also the ongoing informational war destabilizes all the governments and pretty much the world order. And currently this is still on the rise, driving everything to the wrong direction.

I am unsure if this will be remembered as WW3, but we can look into the history books how the previous world wars evolved and how they have ended.
Until then I don't have high hopes the world can just "heal"

I thought I might find Kim Jong somewhere in this narrative. Lately I’ve heard over the news of him having to launch some ballistic missiles recently in a scheduled and supervised test. In this era where several nations are at war and the uncertainty around some parts of Asia and Kim’s close relationship with Putin. Japan had to warn its citizens to be weary of possible attacks as, these leaders can be unpredictable but then, the war is taking a toll on the world and it’s something that should be halted.

Yes it seems that way, Europe especially think they need to ramp up their spending on military
because a. they cannot rely on the US protecting them any longer and b. they think Russia is
going to attack 'Europe'.

Its total nonsense and its been driven by the big global banks, they want war because war
brings them profit. They wont go and fight wars themselves, they sacrifice others in their quest
for more profit.

I probably would have said that you are listening too much to mainstream media but you
have lumped everyone in together.

Trump - isnt doing anything too much different to the previous handful of US presidents really,
ok other than foolishly listening to Netanyahu. But War is what the US does and its not driven by
Trump or presidents before - its as above 'The Banks'.

Jinping - The mainstream media has everyone believing they need to be afraid of China. The
western Epstein class are afraid that their way of colonising and piracy of other countries is
under threat of a more social type of economy that China uses.

Netanyahu - no need to say anything here, its already out there what he is up to

Putin - why? because his attack on Ukraine? the pressure from NATO meant they finally had to
act and unfortunately it was the puppet government in Ukraine pledging closer ties with NATO
which meant Russia had to act.

War is expensive, and money isn't the only cost we're talking about here, it comes a the expense of lives, international relations, economy, etc. Take the United States for example, they have spent billions of dollars on this war with Iran that doesn't seem to have an end in sight, nor is anybody sure what there is to achieve from it.

Nobody is pulling out of anything if we're to be honest, geopolitical tensions have always existed and will continue to. There are also a lot of egos involved in this, plus battles for territory, so even if the global economy suffers, these egomaniacs will still stay at it.

[snowpega]

Almost every country wants to represent itself as superior to any other country in the current time we are living in. We have seen such examples in the form of war, political pressure and statements to show dominance over other countries. What is happening between Ukraine and  Russia, Sudia and Yemen, America and Iran, israel-Lebanon and Gaza. israel right now is opposing a lot of countries and breaking many international rules. So, OP, I agree with you.

Whatever is going on needs to be stopped now for the betterment of human civilization.
In front of humanity, nothing comes first in my dictionary when it comes to the world. We should care more about innocent people who are being murdered without any fault of their own. And OP, believe me, we should not worry much more about economic matters compared to what I am saying. What do you think about this? CMIIW!

I think all of their preparation means just to defend and not to attack. If some neighboring countries go outrage, they are just there ready to defend themselves.

Otherwise, it's not for conquering territories except for the few which are currently engaging in their own wars.

To stop this, one has to sacrifice and agree to what's being asked to them which is more of an egoistic manner. But we're seeing it that none of them are willing to go low than the other.

Sure enough, indications of potential arms race between regions are drawing the world closer to collapse of its economic system. The movement of huge amounts of capital to weapons manufacturing plants affects the stability of the food chain which must not be compromised.

The dependence of both military and commercial chains is a cover up of the humanitarian motives of the leaders who control the strings of power. The drive to attain supremacy in weaponry makes it impossible to conduct any rational negotiations.

After the economy has already entered a state of military stress, it is unlikely that the situation will change or improve. It seems that none of the countries is going to reduce defense spending; on the contrary, I hear daily news about strengthening defense and allocating even more funds for it. World leaders seem to have played too much and forgotten about other methods of negotiating and redirecting money to peaceful infrastructure so that their economies can grow without the risk of collapse.

[Bitcoin-Forever]

I don't think this is possible because what you see many countries do is use war as a threat or, let me say, a defense mechanism for them to be ahead of others due to their strength and various abilities. This is where you see that countries with the strongest or higher-performing economies have the ability to withstand any rigor when it comes to receiving threats from other countries. It all depends on who has the ability and the infrastructure, together with the military strength, and stands not to be intimidated by any other.
