Why War Never Ends | Politics, Profit and Power | Geopolitical case study
A Think School political and economic case study from October 2025 arguing that war is a profitable business for the American defence industry. Starting from Donald Trump's claim of having stopped seven conflicts, the presenter traces cost-plus contracts in World War II, the postwar military industrial complex, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, and contractor profits. The caption text ends mid-conclusion, so the final lines are not covered (partial coverage). This is a one-sided opinion piece. The profit, stock, cost and casualty figures and the claims about motives and propaganda are the presenter's statements, not independently verified, and several are contested. This is political commentary, not advice. Captions are automatic with errors. Topics are untimed; metadata follows YouTube. Source: https://youtubetotranscript.com/transcript?v=mLf3KYTkGuA
