    Americans have little to no personal stake in

    This seems counterintuitive, but only in a imaginary scenario in which Americans choose their foreign policy through public approval - instead, it's the MIC that decides on it's business interests first and then beats the public into support through the most effective propaganda machine every created.

    And I think the racial component made it easier - having white, European victims really juiced the media's response. But really the main driver is the MIC looking to score some sweet sweet arms deals to make line go up, and the rest is the practiced playbook to ensure that the money transfers hands smoothly.

      "We got record breaking quarterly arms sales to Germany."

      "What did it cost you?"

      "US Dollar Hegemony"

      Crapitalism, folks.
