The flag of the Japanese expanding empire, is not the flag of today. The American “right” today, like Ramirez, would have those rays coming off the Stars and Stripes, but interestingly, they don’t feel that expansion should cost them a penny in taxes… What does Ramirez, and the “right-wingnuts” NOT understand about basic economics, that wars, just like roads and bridges have to be paid for. (And contracting to privates instead of government is 50-500 times as expensive!!! Mercenaries are paid a lot more than Marines, and 500% markups for road jobs by contractors are pretty much standard, and don’t even think about “defense” R & D costs!!))
