    Yep. American “wars” (imperialist interventions) aren’t about “winning” against an insurgency but are rather about destabilizing countries, reversing their development, destroying their surplus, forcing them to the negotiating table, and opening them up to foreign capital (particularly in the form of high interest loans, to put them in debt to the imperial core), while shoring up profits for the domestic military-industrial complex. Imperial core bourgeoisie are willing to indoctrinate and sacrifice young people in the prime of their life for the purposes of killing and subjugating working class people in the periphery.
