America has become a Military Industrial country. It makes a huge amount of weapons some manufacturers in a lot of states. Imagine closing those businesses down, people work there. This means the US has to keep making wars and providing weapons.
I think it's worse than this, as they could easily transition that industry to security, or widgets, or whatever. But they want to keep the dominate and control narrative and power structure in place around the world.
If you look closely they are doing the same in Europe. Expanding weapons production in Germany, Denmark, Norway (for example Kongsberg Defense and Nammo), in Sweden, UK. And the Germans biggest weapons maker (Rheinmetall AG specifically ) are locating factories in Hungary in an attempt to swing Hungary into the warmongering camp:
They are using the same method they did in the US. The more they spread this, the more the story will become war for its own sake as an economic driver, while actually mainly enriching a tiny handful of ultra rich oligarchs and throwing pennies to the working class who could have been employed to do things that actually build better societies..
The problem of course is that war ends up impoverishing everyone because it has huge economic costs to societies as a whole:
“… The 2021 Global Peace Index estimates that the economic impact of violence in 2020 amounted to a massive $14.96 trillion which is equivalent to 11.6% of total world GDP or equivalent to the size of Switzerland, Denmark, and Ireland’s economies put together……….What are the implications for investors? Peace is far, far more profitable….”

Don't forget all the stockholders, many hold political office.
True.

That's why it is called the "MILLITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX".
