Investing in making people die over-seas, rather than the wellbeing of their own population that essentially pays their wage...
Yea, anyone would find that blatantly suspicious. Their goals are perfectly clear.

But people have drank so much USA Koolaid that they cant possibly imagine a country running any differently.

It's not just Koolaid.

The relative domestic prosperity of the US is built upon that very overseas death and exploitation.

The people of the imperial core have some material interest in keeping that system of oppression going, even if they don't realize it or think about it in those terms.

And those people are the most dangerous kinds of sociopaths.

I don't think I can agree with that.

Of course the capitalist class generally know what they're doing, but that's not who I was talking about.

I meant that everyday working people have a material interest in more or less keeping the status quo. I'm not sure that you can define this group as sociopaths.
