| Out of curiosity, which country in the world is going to "begin the slaughter, enslavement, rape and pillaging" of: - The country already having the largest army in the world, whose internal military branches are larger than most armies in the world ? - The country that has a ocean to ocean control of its land, with east and west being fundamentally impossible to attack ? - The country that is surrounded north and south by either allies, or third world countries struggling to even maintain peace within their own borders ? - The country that is already going down some of the fastest descent into fascism history has seen ? And how exactly that relates to Palantir, whose goal is not to provide vision algorithms for bombing brown people in the middle east, but to straight up build a file about their own citizens that would have made the Gestapo drool ? The vast majority of countries that can afford a solid military already do, and neither is at threat of whatever bullshit you're making up here. Even local tensions like Pakistan and India, Thailand and Cambodia are being handled with incredibly small portions of their militaries, despite some pretty deep hatred. The countries that cannot, either have agreements with other powers in the region, or indeed get attacked by a military so overwhelmingly strong for them that even putting 100% of their GDP into it would not suffice. I'll tell you what "pursuing military supremacy" does though: as it stands, the vast majority of the world sees the United States as a threat, with ever renewed imperialistic needs and aspirations. The United States is always just a single dip towards madness away from being the greatest danger that currently exists in the world. And now, they are suppressing internal protesters. But hey, if you're looking to rediscover how 9/11 was like and why it happened, pop off I guess. |
