Horrible but also kind of ironic that compared to all these authoritarians, US capitalism is on such a level that the US literally has to make and arms it’s own enemies to practice use of it’s full force. Reminds me of the big bad bully on the play ground giving the skinny kid a baseball bat and saying “go ahead, hit me I dare you”. (I realize both of these scenarios sound awful, please don’t downvote me for being completely socially unaware).
