- narutouzumaki 10y agoThe US is, at the least to an equal extent, also where it is because of its excellent possibilities to have access to a free flow of information and stable not profit motivated institutions that allow that access. This includes libraries.
- sametmax 10y agoYou don't build tanks and planes without them. Nuclear bombs without them. Look at south korea. Plenty of military, no brain.

- najati83 10y agoThat's why I mentioned intelligence. You need proxy wars, coups, espionage, state-funded terrorism, etc etc in other countries to maintain your power. The US excels at that.

- astebbin 10y ago> Look at south korea. Plenty of military, no brain. I'm genuinely curious - what did you mean by this?
- lenkite 10y agoI think he meant North Korea. But they did build a Nuclear Bomb (or rather got the tech successfully loaned from China)
- tooltalk 10y agoAccording to some high-ranking North Korean defectors, they actually built it themselves with no direct assistant from China or Russia -- which explains why they are so crappy. Their nuclear program is still young and poorly funded.
- sametmax 10y agoYes I meant the dictatorship, not the starcraft mothership.
- kilroy123 10y agoBut if we get rid of libraries, cut art programs, and social programs for the poor; what the hell would the military even be fighting for?
- devonkim 10y agoWhat they've oftentimes fought for since the birth of the country - powerful business interests sometimes masquerading under political campaign rhetoric of "freedom" or "justice." Whether it's over taxation or slavery, economic impetus is the seed for most conflicts in the US and in the 20th century evolved into ideological conflicts that harm US business interests.
