America pays for it precisely so America gets to drive it. America is not a country. It is an empire. It cares not for the citizens in its imperial core, so-called "American citizens." The empire exists only to enrich its elites. That's why it outsources, does demographic replacement, enters seemingly terrible trade agreements, and has a seemingly incomprehensible foreign policy. Once you look at it through the lens of empire and understand it gives zero fucks about its own founding stock, these seemingly bizarre decisions begin to make sense.
