War is considered a conflict between two or more naÂtions, but there are often other actors who benefit from this. The real winners of war make monÂey when humanity bleeds. Since war fuels the demand for weapÂons, the manufacturers expect their revenues to accelerate. Wars anywhere in the world are no less than a lifeline for them. Amidst the Israel-Hamas war, these inhuman actors have found a way to make hay while the sun shines.
The latest data on global miliÂtary spending, published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), reveals that global military expenditure has reached $2,240 billion. This figure is intimidating and grueÂsome. The nations of the world must act responsibly.
