don't let perfect be the enemy of good

It's not good! What about this is good? Manufacture something else! Fund schools! Feed people. Develop the potential of your society.

It's not even the "best bad option under empire." This is the worst possible option. You are only destroying other societies, not improving your own.

As a professional computer toucher who works among the techbros, a lot of them are also convinced that if the US doesn't step up and make advanced child bombing contraptions, then the US's enemies (namely China) will rise and inflict even greater torment on the world.
