To protect the treats
I'm not kidding at all
The open embrace of imperial violence to maintain one's own personal lifestyle will be an increasingly popular position as material conditions deteriorate: Treatlerism
I'd argue this is the third tenet of the evergreen "life, liberty, and 'the pursuit of happiness'"
The pursuit of my happiness even at the cost of your life and liberty
Basically the justification for bombing Yemen, “they’re threatening the sea lanes and international shipping!!”
Nevermind that they are doing a targeted embargo to stop a literal genocide, the specter of treat stoppage is used as justification for violence in response.
