It never fails to amaze me how when it comes to invading another country, killing lots of people -- preferably non-white ones -- and spending untolds billions or even trillions the villagers have NO FUCKING PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. Hell, put it off-budget and pretend we're not spending it. That'll be so cool, and it can all be summarized beautifully by a car magnet.
It's an investment in -- showing how big one's dick is, and as
we're talking Fred Hiatt, this is all metaphorical.
But god forbid we spend money on our own people,
then it just has to be budget neutral or better.So apparently, the equation is --
FOREIGN POLICY - PUNISH THE WORLD
DOMESTIC POLICY - PUNISH THE CITIZENRY
Rising Hegemon
