- drenvuk 8y agoThat's normal in every empire, right? Enough people start siphoning off of whatever system is in place in order to fatten their wallets and then gtfo before the populace kills them or another country/invade steals everything from them. The newish breed (maybe not new but more recent) seems to be to destabilize countries which can be strip mined cleaned while everything is just barely out of control of the local government, or you just pay off the government which may just be a military junta and buddies because they understand that if they try to pull a Gadaffi they get bombed out of existence and replaced because they're not big enough.
- F-35 8y agoThing is, it’s funny to me that you imagine the money declared under fighter jet programs is actually getting spent on fighter jets. Getting emotional about government spending means you believe the government tells you the truth, which they do not. The money disappears. The line items show up on paper. Flak shows up in the news, about waste, about inefficiency. But there’s no way the shit they say they waste money on is the shit they really waste money on.
