From 1990 - 2020 we spent an equal amount on the War on Drugs, to keep the drug cartels out of the hemisphere, and outside of a few hotspots the investment was cheaper than real conflict.
From 2021 - whenever we will spend a equal amount on the War on China, to keep free market capitolists escaping china out of the hemisphere, and outside of a few hotspots the investment will be cheaper than real conflict.
