Where have you been? It's always been like this. Worse, actually.

They do that, too. But when the country is amped up for a war of revenge, and you and your buddies are corrupt and in a position to start that war and profit immensely from it, you start that war.

No, I'm saying that many politicians had financial stakes in the industry, which was a large contributing factor to starting and prolonging the war. Did you already forget about Dick Cheney? It hasn't been that long.

It's based on survey responses of the populace, so I guess go tell the Congolese to answer better next time?

It wasn't a waste at all. It made the arms industry all the money it was supposed to, and then some.

Maybe, but a 1-2% difference isn't very meaningful, especially when you factor in census marigns of error, and how wildly census methods and degrees of accuracy vary between countries.

>Tactical nukes are for a military that wants to gain some sort of advantage

Ok, but they do actually want to do that. They aren't exactly holding their ground in their annexed territories.

>Good people, though, and I wouldn't think the driver was from around there.

What an absurd and baseless assumption. Shitty people live in literally every neighborhood.
