    As if no other country does this kind of bullshit.

    Most countries can’t conceive of operating at the scale of the US. And a great deal of that military surplus is derived from wealth and labor looted overseas.

    You’re stacking up Jeffrey Dalmar against the Enola Gay.

      So how is the original picture “westoid logic” if it only applies to the USA?

        It applies to the entire Western block. You can toss in everyone from the French to the Philippines.

        The US just happens to be the folks operating on a global scale. You’ll find American military goons engaged in this kind of wreckless, pointless bloodshed from the coast of Venezuela to the highlands of Yemen.
