Welp, we probably deserve it. The USA is one, if not the most, corrupt nation on earth. All politicians are for sale to the highest bidder.

The courts are corrupt, judges for sale

Congress is corrupt, pols for sale

The DOJ is corrupt

The FBI is corrupt

The ICs are corrupt

On and on and on and ..

We really do need a strong military because, frankly, with all the corruption, destruction and pain we have inflicted worldwide are asses do deserved to be kicked.
