Defense manufacturers can easily repurpose their entire industry for space travel, especially if we’re concerned about traveling anywhere at a speed reasonable for a human life span. The profit motive for war and conflict is unjustifiable.

War makes them money (and gains them power) now. That's all that matters to them.. They've made it clear they lack the will and/or ability to look ahead and consider the consequences of their actions, even if they detrimentally impact their own futures, that's why we still have capitalism..
Look. I’m making millions doing what I do, and I don’t ever experience these “ravages of war” or whatever that nonsense is, so clearly 7.99 billion other people are just like me in these regards. It’s just a few hundred bad people (lol if that) getting a little mad at each other, so let’s stop this racist wealth-shaming, shall we? Okay then.
