For instance: Switzerland has maintained permanent political neutrality since 1815 as they refuse to join military alliances (not a member of NATO), avoid participating in foreign wars and treating warring parties equally under international law. Even though Switzerland has their own military, they rarely get deployed outside their borders (not invading a ME country to commit war crimes) & definitely don’t have over 800 military bases worldwide.

    They live on other countries’ money for a pretty long time now, and they want to continue the tradition. Therefore they always look to continue it, and call this their ‘national security’ - implying that they are always ready to use their armies to secure the future of this blood sucking practice.

    This is the main factor. We’re a country ruled by rich parasites. They only care about extracting wealth from wherever they can and they freely use the military to do so. Just look at the recent news about Rubio and others in Trump’s cabinet already salivating over what parts of Cuba they’re going to take for themselves to further enrich themselves.

    The US NEVER fights a moral war, a just war, or a war for humanitarian reasons, they lie about it and claim it’s to save others, but it is ALWAYS about personal enrichment.
