If the US empire ran out of excuses to use and test its extremely profitable military arsenal on impoverished foreigners it would simply invent more excuses.
It's hard to wrap your mind around, because it's so much more profoundly evil than we're taught to anticipate, but it really is an objective fact that people who make money manufacturing war weapons have an tremendous amount of influence over how and when those weapons are used.
It's exactly the same as murdering human beings at mass scale and selling their organs for a tremendous profit, except nobody benefits from their deaths besides those people who sell the murder weapons. And it's deemed perfectly reasonable and acceptable.
A war profiteer can pour money into campaign contributions which incentivize policymakers to push for acts of military interventionism, and pour money into think tanks and lobbying to give those policymakers an excuse to do so. This is all perfectly legal and happens constantly.
