        I think it’s more about maintaining superiority as the unilateral world superpower. Can’t let anyone else come into a position to threaten western hegemony. The military industrial complex profits are just the icing on the cake.

        Oh, that’s sad, how many hundreds of missiles did they drop? How many dozens of hydrogen bombs? How many thousands of troops?

              No you weren’t. Get the hell out of here. The great thing I’ve found on Lenny is that it’s only one click to block users.

                The USA has dropped thousands of missiles and killed thousands of innocent civilians.

    Malaysia is insignificant as far as technological and economic powers go.
    Singapore are bankers and will say what is prudent. And certainly don’t mind some draconian authoritarianism.
