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

That's because America is a war economy. It might be time to consider another option
ok I'll get right on that
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.
