The US operates 742 military bases in over 80 countries. These outposts don't protect Americans; they fuel endless wars and enrich defense contractors. Since 9/11, over $8 trillion has gone to arms dealers like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, whose lobbyists write the laws. When the US spreads militarism, it's called 'peacekeeping.' When anyone else does it, it's called 'aggression.' This isn't defense. It's imperial domination.
