Quote:American empire ‘may be collapsing’ so Pentagon recommends increasing ‘military dominance’: report
Quote:To combat this decline and preserve American dominance, writes AlterNet, the study “calls for the US government to invest in more surveillance, better propaganda through ‘strategic manipulation’ of public opinion, and a ‘wider and more flexible’ US military.”
In case you haven't looked, boys, you have a demented shithead in the white house who will doom all of your efforts.

They always want more. That is the problem with the whole military-industrial complex.

It's a shame they will never consider the other option, of simply letting the rest of the world behave as it wishes without the looming threat of "regime change". Another example of Maslow's Hammer.

There is no profit in that, Thump.
Besides, when they retire the generals take lucrative jobs with defense contractors. The whole system is rotten to the core.

I bet there could be plenty of profit in building, say, a green energy infrastructure instead of jet engines -- GE or P&W might like that.
I agree that the system itself is a rig. Whether or not one agrees with his politics, Ike was dead-on in his warning about the dangers of the MIC.
