We are the biggest, baddest, most powerful, richest, best at knowing what's good for you country in the world. We have this enormous military machine that has become necessary to keep in constant motion or it will begin to choke on itself as the material and equipment going in must be relieved by what is expended in destructive ways going out. I mean what are enormous stockpiles of weapons and ammunition and vehicles to transport them and all the rest of it going to do if we don't use them to keep the pipeline open. Those industries cannot close their doors because we no longer are using their products. Imagine what that would do to the economy. It may be the only domestic manufacturing still going on.
Wait! Please don't tell me we are buying all our military stuff from China... Wait again. We could totally ruin their economy by not buying anymore weapons and military stuff. Oh, oh then they would find a reason to threaten us so that we would have to defend ourselves. What would we do? Bomb their military industries and deprive both sides of the weapons and material they need to continue? That would be weird. Anyway we diverge from the point.
We've got an enormous perpetual motion machine to feed. We need to bomb stuff, send aircraft carriers and cruise missile destroyers to new places and use them. We've spent trillions of dollars equipping the most powerful military force ever known to man (who can't seemingly fight it's way out of any ground wars anymore, but that's another subject). And we are being promised that we are going to wind down the one in Afghanistan. It's not that good of a war anyway. No big targets to bomb. Just sheep and mujaheddin living in the mountains. They don't even have a real army, with tanks and jets and missiles. Syria does though. So we could bomb the shit out of that country. Blow up all kinds of Chinese manufactured military equipment with some of our own. Everyone's over supply of military stuff would be lessened and there would of course now be more incentive to resupply.
It's a win, win except for those people who get killed. But hey. Who really wants to live in Syria anyway. I mean 2 million have already left. So yeah, let's bomb the shit out of em. No boots on the ground though. We'll just let them sort through the rubble and figure out which faction has more weapons left to stay in power. Oh wait! I'm not thinking this through. Then we go in with those big ginormous military transports that we have just sitting around, filled with a bunch of new weapons, that we then give to the factions we think we can manipulate.
Perfect!
Now we've got a whole new ally in the Middle East whom we can count on to support Israel. Hey this strategy could work everywhere! Humanitarian military strikes throughout the Middle East, well anywhere really, wherever there are unfriendly regimes that just don't get the American Way of treating people. Blow them up, put in puppet regimes, treat them like they deserve to be treated until they come around to appreciating all we have done for them and protect Israel (now the second most powerful nation in the world, because the first does whatever they want). And of course root the "American Way" firmly in the minds of the rest of the world as the best possible way...or else.
