        It’s so ridiculous when they can’t even effectively govern the fucking country they already have.

          Imperialism is often seen as a compelling solution to the absolute failure of tyrants to govern domestically.

          They’re not trying to effectively govern. It has been a long time since that was any concern of the Republican Party. Their government is about using force to steal whatever you can get, and enjoying cruelty towards those who can’t fight back.
