In modern history US has consistently vilified nations and as a result has been building up it's military. The people benefiting from this is the military industrial complex. If there is no enemy, then there is no reason to hand out billions of dollars from our taxes to these companies and their CEO's. United States military spending is 42% of the total of the rest of the worlds spending. China a distant #2 is only 6%, Russia the biggest scare of them all that we were made to believe were comming here to get us also only 6%.
