Why is there so much bloodshed?

Well, here's one very clear reason:

From 2020 to 2024, private weapons manufacturers got $2.4 trillion in Pentagon contracts, roughly 54% of its discretionary budget

During those 5 years, the U.S. government invested over twice as much money in five weapons companies as in diplomacy and international assistance. $771 billion went to just 5 firms: Lockheed Martin ($313 billion), RTX (formerly Raytheon, $145 billion), Boeing ($115 billion), General Dynamics ($116 billion), and Northrop Grumman ($81 billion). The total diplomacy, development, and humanitarian aid budget, excluding military aid, was $356 billion.

The US taxpayer is going to be on the hook for all the soldiers, tanks, and planes that appear in Donald Trump’s military parade.
But several major tech companies are paying for the festivities along the parade route.
According to recent statements from America250, #Oracle, #Amazon, #Coinbase, #Lockheed Martin, and #Palantir are some of the highest-profile sponsors to the #America250 Foundation,
the congressionally appointed nonprofit in charge of raising funds to celebrate the upcoming US Semiquincentennial.
Although the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will take place next year — July 4th, 2026 — America250,
which is co-chaired by former US Treasury Secretary Rosie Rios and Trump’s former co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita,
is handling spectator logistics,
as well as a festival, for the controversial military parade taking place this Saturday
