    Used to be called starting a war. It’s working for Russia but you really need to have a draft/conscription to make it succeed. The wealthy pay a doctor to say they have bone spurs and the poor go die somewhere else. As a plus some wealthy benefit from an overheated military industrial complex

    But there are side effects, such as generating more poverty by killing off the main income in families

      Starting a war only kills certain demographics, namely young poor people, as well as anyone who lives in a place that gets bombed.

      Police handle other demographics.
