who is the king of war

1. The male protagonist doesn't look smart, but he can do so much smuggling. A few tricks in the middle can't provide an explanation for this, and money is not a panacea when it comes to smuggling. This slot was carried through from beginning to end, and finally revealed such a very reflective theme. 2. An incompetent brother, a policeman who obeys law enforcement procedures, a failed adopted wife, an old-fashioned arms dealer with a position, this must be a political metaphor, but what is the metaphor? 3. In the form of this light comedy, such a cruel political reality is exposed. The United States is the male protagonist who is unwilling to kill people, just unwilling to do it himself, but it does not affect the purchase of guns at all. The money for arms smuggling will not go into the hands of the male protagonist or the president of the United States, but into the lives of every American. As long as Americans live such a high-consumption life, the United States will allow such people to exist, and will support such things with "public opinion". Other countries are similar. 4. Adapted from real events. The United States, Russia, France, Germany, and China, in turn, are still the world's largest arms suppliers. Besides Germany, the other four are also permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. (ps: At that time, it was really pleasing to the eye to see that policeman. I must have seen it somewhere, but I just can’t remember it. After watching it, I remembered that it was the male protagonist of "Love in the Trilogy"! I didn't even remember it. The search turned out to be Todd in Dead Poets Society!)
