      Nah, they only do something when there’s a prospect of a socialist democracy rejecting American corporate interests… because the military industrial complex and entire intelligence apparatus is a tool of capitalism.

      Corporations aka “the economy” = “national security”

      Man, given what the intelligence agencies are known for, I don’t exactly want them interfering in US elections.

          It starts as just a treat, then dessert, then it’s the main course, and before you know it, it’s three meals a day of spookocracy.
