All those Ak47s m16s jeeps tanks vest helmets on both sides all that merchandise of murder was made in a factory and the owners of those factories are the 1% who are all interconnected and associated with eachother.

War is a world wide conspiracy of the richest people of our society they instigate it they fund it and they produce the merchandise for it. And they run the Governments that send the soldiers to die in it.

happened in 2007 when the housing bubble burst. Now think about what would happen if the WAR bubble bursts. This is how the world makes it's living.

This is sad.

after we destroyed much of the rest of the world's industrial base-much of which was devoted to MIC type endeavors.

Nice to see the rest of the world has recovered.

Including growing at rates faster than our own. As I stated, the MIC isn't uniquely American.

14. Wiki: Military-Industrial Commission of Russia
Tue Mar 17, 2015, 01:04 PM
Mar 2015

The Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation (Russian Военно-промышленная комиссия при Правительстве Российской Федерации (acronym VPK)) was established by Vladimir Putin by presidential decree in March 2006. According to the decree, it is a permanently functioning body with vast responsibilities for supervising the distribution and implementation of the "State defense order". The commission answers directly to the President of Russia. It coordinates between the Defence Ministry of the Russian Federation, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and the defense industry. Until then, the defense industry was supervised by Russia's Ministry of Industry and Energy, as well as by the previous government consultative body with a similar name.

The VPK of the Russian Federation shares the name of the former Soviet Military Industrial Commission, which served as a central management body for the Soviet defense industry. The VPK was an inner circle of the Council of Ministers, and the first deputy chairman of the Council headed it. The Soviet VPK's primary function was to facilitate plan fulfilment by easing bottlenecks, enforcing inter-ministerial cooperation, and overseeing the availability of resources.
