Reply #9: British Empire in reverse [View All]

[PATRICK]

First send in the army, then replace them with the private armies of the East India company. You can predict this will be an abject and absurd failure simply by looking at how the British government opportunely took over India AFTER the dirty work was done. Our neocon idiots want government actually to hand over the world to their private governments. It cannot possibly "work" but you can get an awful lot of senseless deaths in the process if that is to your taste.

Without getting into specifics this is definitely topsy turvy absurdism that makes the Vietnam operation look a model of brilliant planning.
