    1. Wages in the imperial core are too high, which is why production has been and continues to be exported to the global south. Not until wages reach parity, which isn’t gonna happen until the US empire falls.

    2. Modern wars are mostly fought via the air and sea. Many of the US “soldiers” operating in afghanistan did so operating drones from military bases within the US.

      I see your view here and I agree. With the amount of automation increasing, wages are just going to be reduced.

      I forgot about drones for some reason. Is there even a reason to use foot soldiers?
