@Snake thats why you improve their living conditions so the reasonable amongst them go "hmm, they're making my life better"

I prefer "ethnic cleansing"

@Spooky Melon sounds a lot like a waste of money to me

Ethnic cleansing more appropriate lol

When our roads are falling apart

Just re-write their laws to be modernized and then use your occupation forces to enforce them until they become the cultural standards

**thats why you're in it for the fucking profits my dude, we've been over this**

School system is shit

We have open borders

the roads and school system arent because of money

its because of shitty beaureacracy

@Snake it's almost like we have separate government departments with separate budgets to handle wars and domestic issues
Or something

@Spooky Melon you say for profits but I don’t see how taking down a countries military in battle, then building up a country after bombing it to hell is going to make money

future trade deals

natural resources

allies

So it’s a start up

A lot of costs at first

@Snake then you're economically illiterate
Japan is one of our best trade partners because we nuked them to the stone-age and rebuilt them in our image

Then it profits

Same with South Korea, essentially

@UnfilteredGarbage ok japan and Iraq aren’t the same

@Snake right, because we haven't rebuilt Iraq in our image

What is it, something like 60% of all taxes are absorbed by the buerocratic machinery and then 30% actually gets used? 15% goes missing half the time <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

....so we pumped Millions into Iraq to build them up?

The middle east is very resource rich
Japan is infamously resource poor
And yet...

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck no, im just giving my idealized gameplan

Japanese post-war economic miracle

DEFINED SEA for the last half-century

Is this john Bolton's discord?

fuck off carter

<:GetDownOnTheBarn:590619824640753697>

What makes you think you can do that with Iraq? The culture is vastly different, japan did adopt a lot of western culture before we went to war with them in the first place

@Spooky Melon We should do a Japan with them TBH. Might turn Iraq into one that oh-so-rare classification known as "non-shithole ME countries"

**wait a second**

**let israel conquer the sandlands**

<:powerful:595334910764515338>

I’m ok with that

Israel can have it

I don’t give a fuck about the Middle East

we still get our ally
