I think our military is foolish to squander the defense budget on childish toys like helicopters, aircraft carriers and tanks. They learn nothing from our enemies. For a fraction of the money they could simply send front men into hostile countries and buy up their television and radio stations, newspapers, entertainment companies and other information sources. We could run their stock market, tell them which politicians to support, run their elections, omit any criticism of US policy, Tell them the US is their greatest ally and promote a host of bad ideas to unravel their social fabric. We would have the power of social engineering. With that influence we could mold their perceptions and tell the men to be women, the women to be men and the children to choose their gender. Within a short time the majority would stop having children. We could tell them which vaccines to inject into their bodies, all supplied by us. We could tell them their ancestors were mean and hateful and shame them into accepting millions of immigrants from the jungles of Africa and India and if any of them complain we could label them extremists and racists and trigger their guilt. Then we could offer them redemption from their guilt by suggesting they intermarry with the immigrants. Eventually the people of that country would lose their national and ethnic pride and identity and they would be willing to negotiate with us rather than resist in the name of their ancestors.
