The US realised it was protected by two oceans and could be the supplier of war, relatively untouched until the past 2 decades. This is how the USA built it's empire, not on industrialisation of oil or services like Facebook or Google, but through the supply and armament of weapons and ammunition. The factory boom of 1940's was a huge profit generator. Hell, it worked so well in world war one, they moved to fiat just to make it happen. It's the reason why they left billions and billions of dollars worth of gear in Afghanistan for the Taliban. It's why they ushered the EU nations to send all their armaments to Ukraine, it's why they fund 80% of Foreign Aid to Israel. Why do you think there has been so much war since 2020? They printed 7 trillion and need a way to bring down that inflation, or export it. This economic model is dead after 100 years. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq7ueramk6pxc0j6agfvk3qv855s0dt7pdv4e45nd434caemv9pqdqqs86vq6z4k7rxx5cgkp2pm80yndja4cpq9pur39rvdm3tmk3ss760qwh3a3s
