I’m very conflicted. Part of me sees this as massive bloat, part of me knows that there’s a history of this and it’s pretty wild of you read about it (we do it too of course). Thomas Rid’s “Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation and Political Warfare” is a fascinating read.

Just another bureaucracy trying to justify expanding its budget.

And nothing justifies a budget better than justifying pouring more money into the military industrial complex coffers.

Our foreign policy serves no other purpose than to undermine democracy abroad, install puppets, and buy our natural resources at a discount.

The free market is only good when the American ruling class reaps the profits.
