I think it's more about maintaining superiority as the unilateral world superpower. Can't let anyone else come into a position to threaten western hegemony. The military industrial complex profits are just the icing on the cake.
Malaysia is insignificant as far as technological and economic powers go.
Singapore are bankers and will say what is prudent. And certainly don't mind some draconian authoritarianism.

Not having wars would be tragic from the military industrial complex perspective.

Someone needs to learn about China's imperialistic actions in Asia and their genocidal actions at home.

No you weren't. Get the hell out of here. The great thing I've found on Lenny is that it's only one click to block users.

No missiles yet, then?
The USA has dropped thousands of missiles and killed thousands of innocent civilians.

Can't have that, don't want to make waves. The boys at the top, they don't like waves.
