The Blood and Debt Engine: How Financialized Capitalism Fuels Endless War in the Middle East

The relentless drive of financialized capitalism for endless expansion, articulated by Marx and later theorists, underpins the cyclical and destructive pattern of Western military intervention in the Middle East, from Iran in 1953 to the present day. This imperial architecture, which demands 'stability' through violence to service its insatiable debt, is a monstrous engine of perpetual war and suffering, cynically masking its economic logic with ever-changing moral justifications.
