the projection part is stupid, this is unambiguously imperial in concept, the idea that there can't be peace without conquest

all wars of aggression start with robbing people for the resources to prosecute them

what does "projection" mean? it means throwing something beyond the limits of your boundaries

with the fiscal discipline of the fixed supply of currency you can't prosecute wars of aggression, and thus you can't project your power, you simply assert it

every time there is violence there has to first be deception and then theft
