A carefully balanced act of statesmanship and very high level political stuff we wouldn't understand blah blah blah.

That means dropping wads of cash as "aid" onto adversarial governments who hate us.

Selling military tech to non-allies we're going to fight 12 months later.

Stationing thousands of troops overseas to guard a union of 446 million against an eastern neighbour of 144 million, subsidising their defence while they overspend on social services and look down their fucking noses at the U.S

Thinking you can have unrestricted travel and trade.with your greatest adversary and rival for global hegemony and be surprised when take every advantage and screw you to the wall.
