    We do still have external enemies, the only difference is that they go beyond simply having nukes trained at us, now they fund our political campaigns too.

      Very true. I think the perception was different during the cold war though.

        Well. Yeah, during the Cold War the other side was a bunch of godless Communists.

        Now the other side is a hyper-capitalist oligarchy, and a good chunk of our politicians openly embrace that. The Republican party is just a bunch of Oligarchs-in-training.
