@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo It is reasonable to debate U.S. decisions in Iraq and Afghanistan, including strategy and motives. But history is more complex than “resource capture.” Criticism of specific wars is valid; claiming the U.S. causes every major war requires evidence that does not exist.
@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo Ukraine receiving U.S. and European support does not mean those countries caused the war- your original point. Russia launched the invasion. Aid to a country defending itself is not the same as creating the conflict. Many nations have resisted larger powers with outside support.
@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo The U.S. defense industry can profit from wars, but profit does not prove causation. Major wars like WWI, the Iran-Iraq War, the Second Congo War, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were not started by the United States.
@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo Criticizing specific U.S. interventions is fair and historically legitimate. Claiming the U.S. caused every major war, however, requires ignoring numerous conflicts that began independently of American policy or before the U.S. was a global power.
@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo A country benefiting from an event is not evidence that it caused the event. By that logic, every nation or company that gains economically from a conflict would automatically be responsible for starting it, which is not a sound standard.
@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo History is more complicated than one-country explanations. Wars usually emerge from competing national interests, territorial disputes, ideology, alliances, and leaders’ decisions. Assigning every major conflict to the U.S. ignores those realities.
@Suryavardhan__@BRICSinfo The U.S. economy is roughly $30 trillion and is driven primarily by consumer spending, services, technology, finance, and manufacturing. Defense spending is important but represents only a modest share of total economic output.
@ltc1199@IntCyberDigest Even it’s true the math: 10,000 trades on an $80 account scales to ~$2M notional volume. At standard 0.05% OKX fees, that’s $1,000 in exchange charges alone—consuming the entire $427 profit claim. Add API token costs (thousands) and 50x leverage liquidation at 2% price movement
@ltc1199@IntCyberDigest The Reddit AI trading story is fake & highly illegal in the US. OKX futures are banned for US residents. Spawning autonomous bots with zero human oversight to trade 10,000+ times violates CFTC risk-management and wash-trading laws.
