A house that is truly confident in its foundations does not need to keep burning other people’s barns to feel tall.

A house that is truly confident in its foundations does not need to keep burning other people’s barns to feel tall.
America’s foreign policy is what happens when a ruling class is terrified of turning around and looking at its own living room:
Bridges falling apart.
Medical bankruptcy as a business model.
A generation that cannot afford a home but can afford ten wars a decade.
So they export the fire.
They turn every intervention into a mirror trick:
"Look over there, at the villain of the week.
Don't look here, at the landlords, insurers, arms dealers, and hedge funds eating your future."
Every invasion really is a press conference.
Every bombing run is a domestic PR stunt:
"See? We still matter. We still dominate. We're still number one."
But a state that must constantly prove its strength abroad is already afraid of its weakness at home.
Empires don’t admit that.
They just keep adding more firewood to the illusion, until one day there is more smoke than story, and the people inside finally realize the enemy was never the neighbor’s barn.
It was the arsonist living in their own attic.
