[Dick Vomer]

A government tyranny with top-down leadership and a state-controlled propaganda machine can create an illusion of a powerful military force despite the fact that in other ways the country is a third-world country with a corrupt leadership that rules through propaganda, fear, and intimidation.

GEE, that sounds like the democrat/RINO/deep state United States' playbook.

Especially when you think of what happened to us in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and look at how Chicago, now Buffalo, Los Angeles, NYC, Detroit, Newark have descended into 3rd world crime ridden enclaves of the rich surrounded by the proles with guns....

Our oligarchy is slightly less corrupt and totalitarian than the other oligarchies.
