    It’s not just about money, it’s also about approval raitings. Out of control and bizarre as it all feels, the individual politicians involved have to continually keep their supporters scared and seeking violent action (and therefore voting for them) or else a sane person might get elected and stop shoveling money into the war-engine.

      I mean, when every single politician is a war monger, i still dont see what the point is. When the alternative is It’ll-Be-Gone-By-Easter Trump, as they as they accept that science is a thing, any politician is fine. Their stance on the war is now completely irrelevant.

        That is the point, maintaining a status quo of “all politicians are war mongers”. They don’t want to let any non-war mongers into the club.
