“Big Smart Army” – Scusa imbarazzante per il giornalismo

Gentle reminder that as a representative of the American business interests, the Economist has a vested interest in ensuring that the German MIC remains small, and the European militaries remain dependent on America, as to ensure that Europe keeps buying American en masse.

Edit:

The influence of the American military-industrial complex on The Economist is anything but insignificant. While the magazine is not directly controlled by defense contractors or military officials, its editorial stance and the networks it operates within often align with the interests of the American MIC. This influence is less about overt manipulation and more about shared ideologies, elite networks, and structural incentives.

The Economist has long championed liberal internationalism, free markets, and strong Western alliances such as NATO. These positions frequently overlap with the strategic goals of the American MIC, which benefits from sustained defense spending, global military engagement, and the preservation of American geopolitical dominance. As a result, the magazine tends to frame military interventions and defense policies in technocratic, strategic terms, rather than challenging the broader assumptions of U.S. militarism or empire.

Moreover, The Economist draws heavily on sources from within the policymaking elite such as think tanks, former military officials, and government insiders, many of whom are directly or indirectly connected to the defense industry. These relationships shape the way issues are reported and discussed, often reinforcing the legitimacy of the military establishment’s worldview.

Furthermore, although the magazine carries relatively few advertisements compared to others, its readership and advertisers include major corporations, including those with interests in defense and security. This creates an incentive to avoid perspectives that might alienate powerful sectors of the global economy, including those tied to national security.

Have a nice day

Want to see the Bundesluftwaffe bring back the Hartmann Tulips, as they had them in the F-86s in the 60s.

Germanophobia? or just plain ignorance…

I mean, to be fair, Isreal is performing genocide, so what’s the point?

Big beautiful army.

I just love the anti-American pathos here when the Economist is a **British** publication.

I am down for it, as long as it comes with more military marching
