Sometimes tracing later consequences back to its source requires detective work. Putting on the garb of famous investigators like Sherlock Holmes is not necessary but putting into practice the probing nature of their inquiry is absolutely necessary.

Do you think that successful detectives stop investigating when their search leads them towards a source that may be too revealing?

Inflation empowers warmongering.

Without the financial means to expand warmongering capabilities the hands of sovereigns are tied. Since financing a military and all of the associated equipment is very expensive the amount budgeted to provide defense and stability is substantial. The citizenry will voluntarily support what it takes to provide this territorial safety and no more. The sovereign entity is bound by this unless, via inflation, funds can be surreptitiously extracted (Hidden Tax) and used for expansionary motives, like conquering.

Inflation enables warmongering.

With access to this extracted wealth the restrictions lessen on the types of uses and the ventures of the military. If there is enough extracted wealth to support a military that can invade and subvert or conquer other nations then the empowerment of inflation leads to these kinds of exploits. Inflation is a primary enabler of warmongers.

Inflation encourages warmongering.

One of the best examples in history is the growth of the military power of the United States since the time when the dollar was made the world reserve currency. This monetary hegemony allows inflation to be exported so there are hardly any signs of inflation domestically yet at the same time vast quantities of dollars are created. Subsequently the budget for military expenses can be far greater than any other nation.

This dominance of military strength encourages ubiquitousness especially when combined with the propagandistic slogan “Make the world safe for democracy”. Then there is no place on the planet safe from U.S. meddling, manipulating, and dominating via military force and/or monetary hegemony. It is inflation that encourages bullying, arrogance, and bellicosity.

Inflation is tightly connected to warmongering.

It is historically true that nations under attack used inflation to extract wealth from their citizens in order to defend themselves. But it is also true that the aggressor nations always used inflation to pursue their goals, via warmongering.

Do you get the point?

Inflation is always a major reason for the existence of warmongering. As long as money is counterfeited (inflation) there will be wars.
