Ain’t no war better than a proxy war. Libs don’t lose their kids, political support so easy to maintain

Love to see the defense stock skyrocket. They’re the real winners

It seems they got rattled by Russia’s rebellion against NATO. They want to preserve their hegemony as much as possible.

I’ve always found personifying U.S. and its relationship with its neighbors to be very useful. It all scales up and down with ease.

If US spent even a fraction of the money it spends on trying to cling to global hegemony on fighting climate change we wouldn’t be in a climate crisis right now.

That’s not really astounding to me. Hell, our government made the decision over a weekend to give 22 billion to bail out Silicon Valley Bank. Our government spends this kind of money without blinking. They only act like it’s too much when it would be used to help the average citizen.
