On the one hand having these wars to contain the conflict to specific regions is an extreme form of Market protection. By keeping the conflict isolated in poor areas and away from Rich markets helps to increase profit. The fear of conflict spreading merely increases price and profit.

As far as domination much of the conflict is maintained either by former Colonial powers or what has been called the last super power. To maintain conflict, even over small states that they could eradicate with a concerted effort, maintains the sense of superiority and recalling lost Glory Days.

Obviously, more restrictions and limitations. As many more as it takes. morningfog Jul 2016 #5

It takes for what exactly? Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #6

Consider this analogy sarisataka Jul 2016 #9

I reject your premise out of hand. Vaccines work. morningfog Jul 2016 #10

A vaccine treats a disease sarisataka Jul 2016 #11

The disease is America's gun death cult. morningfog Jul 2016 #13

That would be the symptom sarisataka Jul 2016 #16

Wrong again. morningfog Jul 2016 #17

And now include gun violence. morningfog Jul 2016 #22

Here you go sarisataka Jul 2016 #23

The violent death rate discrepency without guns pales in comparison when morningfog Jul 2016 #24

But I proved my point sarisataka Jul 2016 #25

Only marginally so. But you proved the larger point: gun accessibility is the real problem. morningfog Jul 2016 #26

That would be true if sarisataka Jul 2016 #27

What an idiotic analogy. morningfog Jul 2016 #44

Nonsense. Utter nonsense. beevul Jul 2016 #46

It is true, your logical fallacy notwithstanding. morningfog Jul 2016 #48

What is the logical fallacy? Marengo Jul 2016 #58

It stands to reason that a nation that is always at war, guillaumeb Jul 2016 #32

I would be willing to conceed sarisataka Jul 2016 #34

Are the endless wars a symptom of a capitalist system? guillaumeb Jul 2016 #35
