woo me with science

judging by how revolting some of the messaging has become.

We're up to torture as patriotism now...

And funding the carpet bombing of a captive population...

And now we are told we need to go provide urgent "rescue" to the country whose situation we orchestrated, after being told that we'd be showered with flowers as "liberators" the first time.

I honestly don't know the answer to your question. I do know that I am wholly drained of trust for the motives of those who get filthy rich from this despair.
