The United States sustains their forever Wars because it’s easy to borrow capital It’s easy to borrow as the Federal Reserve Literally prints money in Quantitative Easing And keeps the interest rate forcibly very low This allows billions to flow to forever wars Therefore If we let the market determine interest rates And if we move to a hard money standard Such as Bitcoin, with an immutable supply Then unpopular or unproductive wars are Much harder for governments to sustain Leading to more safety and more peace
