Then again, the U.S. military is now advertising themselves as a bunch of flaming faggots, so option A might not be so far from reality.
That was my thinking as well.
It's more a casus belli and a means of influencing our direction as a nation long term.
A lot of u.s. spending, a lot of u.s. politics was driven by pork-barrel spending, which tied directly into infrastructure, and that doesn't just include roads. It is also water, sewage, electricity (power plants included), communications, roads, prisons, hospitals, and housing.
It's about cultural victory. The taiwan issue for example (the most 'probable' reason to go to war with china) isn't gonna happen, because even supposing the u.s. and u.s. interests weren't heavily subverted by international banks (whos new favorite is rapidly becoming china), even then the u.s. (internally at least) understands taiwan is to china a domestic issue. For clarification think of what it would mean if china (or russia) set up a missile base in cuba. Instead the u.s. will resort to arming taiwan and staying out of it. It'll be a matter of time before china realizes that the u.s. threat to protect taiwan is probably a paper tiger. And the chinese challenging that with say a blockade (but not a full invasion) will be the last and final death blow to whatever remains of the u.s. illusion of hegemony.
And thats just one example.
Infrastructure, be it armaments, and dockyards, or powerplants prisons and hospitals (keeping millions of people busy) are, like all other infrastructure, a massive lever in the impact of cultural subversion.
Look at what "voluntary vaxx unless your private employer requires it" has done to jab compliance rates, e.x. hospitals.
Collectivism and totalitarianism has gone corporate.
And its sponsored by international banks building their new powerbase out of china.
