The spending by the U.S. Government is completely out of control.
Plus, why not spend into oblivion cause the system is not going to collapse until they are ready for it to collapse. So, like you said...they can and need to spend to continue that influence and the need to maintain control.
The question is when it does all come down, how are they going to maintain thay DOD if people are not getting paid and support has eroded!?!

Thank you for the post.
Great stuff!
So the reason I actually wrote this article is I was thinking about how we borrow money and in reality, people will continue to lend us money even if we dont pay it back, if we lean on them to do so. Think of it as a type of extortion.
Oh I understand that. I also look at countries like China that buy our Bonds (Debt) and then turn them around and build these Ghost cities and roads, The 'New Silk Road', etc. This is China using that Debt to their advantage and using that debt to get ready for a new monetary system that may place constraints on their money spending. I would say its more about the money then it is about the military. Not to say anything bad about what you just wrote about. I enjoyed it and it was great stuff. I think the military is used more for overthrowing those countries that do not have Central Banks so that we can place a new government and Central Bank within that country (Lyba, Syria, Iraq). The military is more of a tool used by the elite and the elite are just using the debt by the strongest government i.e. The Untied States. Link below is more of what I am talking about:
