They give all their money to Nazis in North Korea.

If North Korea didn’t exist, why would South Korea and Japan still need American troops inside their countries? The goal of war isn’t to win, it is to make money. You don’t make money by defeating enemies.

You ever wonder why every modern American war lasts like 20 years, leads to nothing, and has super low American casualty rates? It’s not because we couldn’t have won, it’s because winning is not the point! How it works, is we set up some bases in another country, occasionally we bomb people with robots to look like we’re doing something, the government gives trillions of dollars to defense contractors for decades, then we abandon everything and leave all the weapons behind so that we will have a reason to come back someday.

Fun fact about Ukraine: their economy is smaller than Nigeria.

Fun fact about Nigeria: they've got almost 200 million people, immense reserves of petroleum and still have a weaker economy than South Africa which has been left to rot for the last twenty years. I just remember when they removed the fuel subsidies some years ago - suddenly the whole population was back below the poverty line. Riots and shit happened.

Oil rich countries tend to turn out a certain way. Venezuela, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, etc. The way it seems to work for countries is you can have oil, you can have democracy, or you can have wealth, but you can only pick two.
