Imagine looking at the world, looking at your own country failing to feed, clothe, shelter and treat the illnesses of an appreciably large minority of its citizens and thinking 'we need to spend more money on war. That's what the world needs right now, more war.'
Cuz it's the white man's burden to keep all these savages from goig to war with each other, just like they are doing right now but both sides are armed by us
The real reason is that the US economy depends on war profiteering. The MIC is a "too big to fail" industry and the sector for which even the most hardline deficit-hawk neoliberals act like Keynesians.
Destabilize half the world then :shocked-pikachu: when shit keeps falling apart into more war. Quick inject more war, stat, we need to balance out this civil war with a traditional war!
Amazing really. You know if we lived in a sane world all those alphabet soup agency watchlists would be packed with the kind of ghouls that write stuff like this and not middle aged hippies that might chain themselves to Monsanto's security gate in protest of GMO's or whatever.
Because the money doesn't go to "war" per se, it goes to Halliburton and Raytheon Acres and the CIA, et al. Iraq and Afghanistan have been keeping the MIC happy and contented now that the cold war is over.

It's funny bc "too big to fail" is also the motto for every us military intervention since ww2
