This story is nuts.
This country is Afghanistan. High tech military weapons are not necessary, as any “enemy” we find there has NO modern military.
In turth, our soldiers are in Afghanistan protecting the production of opium.
Our country is run by the world’s elite drug lords / financiers who want to burden the world’s sheeple with crushing taxes.
They love taxes because they largely legally avoid paying them.
And - gubmint tax dollars are largely spent on the elites’ businesses, like defense and healthcare.
So we see stories like this published, pushing for ever increasing military spending.
On liberal websites, we see pushing for ever more social spending.
Different path, same purpose: keep the sheeple enslaved.
Ah, you have also noticed that the government we see has little to do with the government who rules...
