Diplomacy would be much cheaper, but this would mean US would also stop doing this kind of shit and that would mean less money into the pockets of the military industry. Diplomacy seems also something that most leaders are missing.

Obviously, that doesn’t exactly support my point though considering the chicken definitely came first there...
