Question

How could the incentives of business profits
create unwarranted influences in times of war?

Answer 1

businesses could try to incite more violence among both sides to create a higher demand for weapons etc

Answer 2

. The incentives of business profits could create unwarranted influences in times of war because both countries (the U.S. and the Soviet Union aka "Superpowers") wanted to gain the most influence after the war instead of focusing on what was most important (protecting and arming the country).
