European border militarization is a profitable investment opportunity for weapons firms

Evidence

Capitalism has no vision for humanity. There are another fifty countries in the Global South experiencing debt problems. Structural poverty fills the boats of migrants who try to cross the Mediterranean in search of a livelihood, maybe even a happy life. And a reasonable prediction is that there will be 1.2 billion climate refugees by 2050. The wealthy European states react with the militarization of their borders, a great opportunity for private investors. According to Antony Loewenstein, from 2015 to 2023 the EU spent at least $3.7 billion on high-tech research to find the most efficient ways to target migrants. — Clara E.
