“Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and, after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east. …”
Aldous Huxley

Golly, how’s the world’s most powerful military machine doing after ten years battle with rag tags armed with basically only AK’s and RPGs?

The world’s greatest stupor power is more like it.

If glitzy WWII hardware was the key to successful war-fighting, Afghanistan would have been subdued in a week.

Sure, they can nuke whomever.
But that’s not a formula for victory either. Is it?

The United States carries the can. As the world’s most powerful military machine it has carried on where the last ‘great’ empire (the British) left off. Creating havoc and misery around the world has always been an extremely profitable business for empires (or to be more accurate, the tiny handful of elites within those empires) which is why they do it of course.

Whenever any agent of Empire (such as Forbes) speaks, its words are meaningless for any philosophical purpose as it’s obviously serving its master, and will therefore do exactly as it’s told.

Easy, isreal, of course.
