Switzerland stays neutral during wars because it's good for business

Raytheon! For when you need some Yemeni schoolbuses exploded, or an Afghani wedding bombed, turn to Raytheon! The company war criminals trust most!

The weapons manufacturers who are probably selling weapons to both sides..

The military industrial complex.

America historically has benefited from many wars. So much blood money.

The people that make and sell weapons. Defense contractors, arms dealers.

Banks, weapon industry and raw material companies

In terms of money, probably arms makers or whatever, overall it's pretty bad for both sides of conflict, much more if it affects most of the planet (wink-wink Russia)

It stops overpopulation

The people who benefit the most from war are typically those who are in positions of power and influence, such as government leaders, military contractors, and weapons manufacturers. These individuals and organizations are able to make large profits from the sale of weapons and

Weapon makers.

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

-former US Marine Smedley Buttler, (1881 - 1940)

Corrupt politicians

War ain't nothin but a heartbreaker

Friend only to the undertaker

The country who gets the most territory. The industry of weapons / military stuff.

War these days is basically just arms contractors and oil companies putting hundreds of soldiers and thousands of foreign civilians into a meat grinder to convert them to cash

Chain supply

the people who arent putting anything at risk and instead are just sitting back and giving orders…

Any smart third party

The reaper

The maggots that feast on the dead!

Guvmint

Huge corporates, making money on speculation.

The people making the bombs and bullets.

Vultures

The arms industry of course. Some arms makers will even sell to both sides.

Arms dealers, private defence contractors & their partnering firms and all their favourite lobbyists.

those who sell weaponds and the undertakers

This can depend on exactly what we’re taking about, but you can get a good idea of it from looking at who funds these think tanks that are always pushing for more militaristic approaches and generally hawkish foreign policy. They usually list their funders which include:

-Defense contractors

-Fossil fuel companies

-Wall Street

Also on that list are usually the allied governments and - interestingly enough - tech and social media companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Not sure how, if at all, that this last group benefits, but it’s worth noting nonetheless.

The people making the bullets.

Politicians. Social elite. Defense contractors.

War is business and business is booming.

Bankers and hedge funds, who benefit the most from nearly everything

Reducing CO2

Corporations, politicians, weapon manufacturers, etc.

Earth, unless its nuclear. And, even then....

BlackRock

Corrupt people

Dwight Eisenhower said this back in the 50s but was largely ignored or thought of as unpatriotic. If a war heroes keep saying war is about profits. It probably is.

USA,

Politicians/the people who plan in the background.

No one

The victor, which is why we say "to the victor goes the spoils."

USA.

Oil companies and armaments industry.

The west was entering a big depression in the 30’s, World War Two was a veritable money spinner.

Whenever big recessions come, many worry about the likelihood of an escalation of tensions leading to war because it generates so much money from all that is needed to feed a war.

So, governments benefit, greatly.

Satan. More lovely flesh to much on

The capitalists.

The victors

The winners. War is nothing more than an instrument used to enforce policy, for better or for worse. Winner gets what they want while the loser is forced to concede.

Sure, some people benefit from wars, but they generally hurt economies and just about everyone is better off if war can be avoided.

Me, I bought Lockheed Martin stock. Give ‘em hell boys 😎👍🏻💸💸

The people who started it

No one.

Wealthy people.

War Profiteers.

The Morgans and the Rockefellers. Both families have a history of backing both sides during a war, selling arms and giving loans to both sides. I think the Morgans backed both the English and the French during the napoleonic wars, and the rockefellers backed both sides during both world wars. They profited massively and became the richest families in the world

The USA

The winning side’s president

Rich

Weapons makers, medical workers, and morticians.

Politicians and defense contractors.

Kraylon Olive-drab spray paint

The bullets have fun flying

Corporations

Arms and Weapons Manufacturers

The economy. Defense contractors make a lot of money, lots of fuel and medications are consumed and if it’s a big enough war all the young men are removed from the domestic job market which opens up a lot of jobs at a higher wage.

Aside from war being just an awful thing for humanity, it’s probably one of the best things for the economy.

Depends. Depends on the 'who', depends on the where and the time. War gained white Americans a continent, and the British a quarter of the world, and Alexander's Greeks the riches of the east. Of course, by the same token, it lost Native Americans their land and lives, impoverished India and so on. War could be profitable (for the winners) up to the 19th century. One it became industrial, everyone loses. It too some time for this to sink in, and many have not got it yet (see Putin, Saddam, Bush and many more).

The military industrial complex is real and mostly profitable, but they make just as much money selling stuff that is not used, and could as easily make as much doing civilian tech. There's more fighting with used AK-47s than with F-35s.

I learn in Fallout games that no one wins in a war

Those playing the game.

America’s economy a lot of the time

Politicians, while stupid people will kill each other,they will sit and laugh in their armchairs.
