What do the fascists get out of saying the truth? Shouldn’t they be cheering on the war machine? My conservative family is sharing this vid around and I’m very confused on what to do. Why can’t it be socialists and communists who get millions of views by talking like this?
It's also a case that the U.S. can't actually win wars outside of it's borders, (German politicians were looking for settlements prior to U.S. entry in WWI, only being stopped by the refusal of the army to agree to the ceasefire, Soviets won WWII) because they are completely unwilling to invest the amount of money that is required to set up competent administration for occupation. Actual serious occupation requires setting up infrastructural relationships that can only be maintained by the industry of the colonizer. It's also how you can also maintain neo-colonial relationships after you ostensibly leave.
The U.S. no longer has the capability to develop and maintain that level of infrastructure, and it has never really been a part of their game plan to begin with, because the U.S. is actually incredibly bad and inefficient at everything it does, getting by one the fact we have a low population (because of austerity and genocide) and high amount of natural resources to play with. We can afford to be inefficient in ways that other countries simply cannot, but eventually that inefficiency will start to bite us in the ass in a significant way.
