The US is one big imperial war machine that protects its ownership class assets with their foreign policy, like any other superpower would.
"War profiteering", forceful opening of markets, huge contracts being made after all major wars, resource control?
The forever wars happening from the second world war up until now to keep the West on top. What "we" did to South America, to Iran, to African countries when they wanted their surplus?
Empire logic, game theory, nerdy statistical perspective even if you played a bit of civilisation or read Guns Germs and Steel.

What is war about today suddenly then? Beautiful philanthropic benevolence of the enlightened western peoples done very reluctantly but with great compassion for the future of the world despite immense expenses?
