Let’s visit a top-secret military briefing of the great Ko-chi-rus, as they assess their sworn enemy, Mer-Ka.
Says one, “Dear Leader, you would think they were the most fearsome enemy. They have guns enough for every man, woman, and cat! But they gun each other down in fearsome numbers!

"Their body count is higher than we could inflict in battle!”
“And what about the health of the people? Are they strong, healthy, and ready to fight?”
“Oh no, so many are afraid to seek medical care because the cost is so high."

"Or they’re afraid their private information might be given to politicians and policemen to use against them. Many distrust the doctors, claiming that treatment and prevention measures don’t work.”

“One of their leaders has put a hold on military promotions, because he wants to control the private medical decisions of the troops and their spouses, but not in any way to make them healthier.”
“And the education of their children? Are they excelling in science and critical thinking?”

“Oh no, school boards have become places of contention, and teachers are quitting. Books are being banned and libraries are being closed. Critical thinking is derided and mocked.”

“Oh, we didn’t have to pay a penny. They formed their own lobbying groups, and gathered great truckloads of cash from their own people to give to their leaders make sure that the laws don’t mitigate the harm.”

“But I worry,” mused Dear Leader, “if your enemy’s house burns down, that could be cause for rejoicing, but sparks from that fire can burn your own house down. The poison from an implosion in Mer-Ka could destroy the world.”
