When the war machine is running everything is great. But when it slows down people get laid off and have no money to buy stuff. So there is a recession as economies normalize.
Universal Basic Income would solve the problem very easily. War machine dies down, people lose their defense contract jobs but still have their UBI and can pursue their individual goals instead of chasing an employer that will continue to pay them.

There is always a recession after a war.
It's not a conspiracy it's economics.

You don't think there are better options than constantly being at war with something or somebody?

I think none of us has the power to do anything about it.

Ironically that kind of change probably requires a war.
