I am both unsurprised and sickened. This is just how military states work and what's slowly happening to the US. When you found your power on military strength you have to keep feeding the beast, which leads to a constant hunt for targets and creation of threat, which leads to more and more of the state's legislative power and civilian rights and oversight eroded and taken over by military interests, which leads to war profiteering and making connections with other militarized governments, which leads to a war economy, which leads to the breakdown of civilian infrastructure, which leads to civilian discontent and protest, which leads to more funding for state enforcement and fascist crackdowns and on and fucking on. It's nothing but a death machine that spins money only for an elite class and grinds everything in its path to dust.
