Why serious people don't invest into clumsy military toys?

 

NATO started complaining that nobody serious is putting their money into NATO's toys.

"Western investors ‘stupid’ to shun arms industry, says Nato official NATO Admiral Rob Bauer criticises Western banks, pension funds and credit rating agencies for neglect of defence investment. He urges financial institutions to adapt to rising security threats and warns that missing out on defence funding could be a costly mistake. Admiral Rob Bauer says the rise in geopolitical power between China and the US could lead to war. He criticised European banks for not investing in defence despite a growing demand for military equipment. "Defence is not a cost, it's an investment," he insisted, calling for a rethink of outdated policies that are holding back the defence industry.

"Why aren't you convinced by trillions of dollars? What happened to your business instincts? Are you stupid? And that's what I say to the pension funds. Are you stupid? If you look at the return on investment . . there's so much money to be spent over the next 20 years," Bauer said."

The military's demand is not stable. Trump will come in two weeks and tell, that he wants peace tomorrow.  People will wake up and figure out that to survive they need to export what others are buying every day, like cars. During the war people quickly invent ways to protect themselves from new gadgets turning everything produced before into junk. Investing into death and destruction reduces our quality of life. Military equipment trade is corrupt and not transparent. The time of extremely old sclerotic Cold War actors like Mr. Biden  is ending.
