There are significant parts of the empire who are acutely aware that things like military overextension and ramping up aggressions against China run directly against its own interests, but because the forces which pilot the empire\u2019s actions are pointed in that direction, it\u2019s happening anyway.

The US empire is inseparable from the forces of neoliberal capitalism, war profiteering and unipolarism with which its true leadership has intertwined itself, so while the odd empire manager may say \u201cend the wars\u201d it never happens, because everything in it is oriented toward war.<\/p>\n<p\nid=\"189a\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph ll lm fo ln b lo lp lq lr ls lt lu lv lw lx ly lz ma mb mc md me mf mg mh mi fh bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This is the same reason we keep destroying our biosphere despite being acutely aware that we need it to survive.
