Geopolitics

every act of war from a dictatorship is done only to enrich the people in power, no exception

they divert natural resources and gdp towards military budgets that get stolen

dictators don't go to war to win

democracies do

doesn't have to

but boy does it work so well to enrich cronies in power

A dictatorship does not have to start wars to enrich its people. I give you as an example the dictators of Venezuela are millionaires from stealing so much and they did not need a war.

they don't

and if you see that they ever do

are you sure they are democracies?

A western pot head wrote the democratic peace theory - stating democratic countries don't go to war with each other. So the west changes the narrative to good vs evil

Power consolidation=evil.

what's that "west?"

is it in the same room as us?

Is it mexico? Argentina? Chilli? Brazil? Is it Morocco? Is it Norway? Iceland? Finland? Greece? Italy?

is Australia "east" and not "west?"

is New Zealand?

ie we don't have a democracy in the West 💯

Very bad generalization, imho. There are plenty of examples in history of totalitarian regimes that went to war to expand their domains and powers, i.e. "to win". And I could easily argue that the US wages wars to enrich their dominant classes, weapon manufacturers, oil companies, etc... Not to "win".
