War on terror or war on anything. It's a complex thing. To hold on to power, a country must be constantly training their war machine. Wars are the best training for war. So say $7T is the cost of retaining power. What would the cost be of losing that power?

Despite this grim perspective, I have hope for the future of humanity.

Causing the deaths of 40-200 thousand civilians, thousands of our own armed forces and tens of thousands returning home wounded was just the cost of working that military muscle? Sorry but that's even more f'd up than the official reason we got told.

7T is a nice chunk of all the money in the world. What the fuck. Scammed to the sun and back.
