      Peace:

      “Vision of Humanity 2024 Global Peace Index ranked 132nd out of 162 countries”

      …yup. sounds about right. We’ve been at some kind of war for pretty much the entirety of our existence…

          The winning or losing was almost always secondary. The main thing is to spend a load of money on wars. We’ve never failed at that.

            Military skill was a use it or lose it thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the wars that the US has been fighting have been intentional, specifically in order to maintain skilled soldiers.

            Destabilizing other countries and exploitation of natural resources and cheap labor, in order to maintain USD and military hegemony. That’s why.
