Gauging from perusing some of your other posts around here of late, you may want to research modern history on this internet. It's staggering what none of us were permitted to learn of while sat in classrooms.

All things former US general Smedley Butler might prove illuminating. Here you can read his short book War is a Racket for free. https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.pdf

In it he describes the real reasons why wars are made to happen.

In the early 1930s he was approached with a view to lead a force to overthrow the US government. He declined and blew the whistle on the conspirators. They consisted of the same financiers who successfully bankrolled and brought Hitler to power, primarily Union Bank and Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of two future US presidents. He was later successfully prosecuted for his treacherous dealings with Nazis.

That proposed coup in the US later became known as the Business Plot which was whitewashed. It'll never get the Hollywood movie treatment 'cause we're not supposed to know.

Some basic info about it is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot

You'll need to dig much deeper to learn of Bush's involvement.
