Actually it looks like proof that there is tons (literally) of military hardware and ordinances floating around in the entire area that is never destroyed and falls into the hands of whoever takes over whatever regions containing it. And there is an endless supply of dodgy arms dealers always ready to exploit conflict for profit. If we put a fraction of the effort we put into controlling drugs into controlling the flow of arms there might be a few less guns and bullets floating around. But as we know with drugs it's pretty much impossible to stop the flow of physical goods so good luck with that.
How about we declare energy independence and pull the fuck out of these regions, let them get on with it while China and Russia fight over the spoils of the petrochemical loot they have buried under their dessert. It ain't going to be pretty but the trillions we'll save could be well spent at home actually making America great again.
But the industrial military complex would never let that happen because never ending conflict is their exactly business plan. World peace is not any kind of future they want.
The end is here
