When is the time US has not been at war? Maybe, we are inverting cause and effect here.. US is always at war because the budget allows for it?


Say it this way. Tomorrow if the american security /defence budget was cut to 0, do you think the rest of the world will storm/attack Americans because they have an eternal blood thirst for them? Don't they have their own problems to deal with?

This is the problem with mitary and security infra of any country. They keep the bogeyman alive because their paychecks depend on it.


This is literally exactly what would happen. It need not be blood thirst motivation; simple profit dynamics are enough to ensure this outcome.


keep on dreaming


Good thing you will never find out.
