money and resource can't buy intelligence.

imagine this, you have an enemy.

say you want to bring em down,
just imagine the time needed to plan things,
not to mention the money you need for resources.

now, imagine trying to bring down an entire country.
so you have to multiply the time and
compound all the monetary calculations.

now, imagine expanding that to an entire continent,
can you just imagine the time, people,
information, resource, and money involved?

but wait, say for some ridiculous miracle,
or some twisted ideology or thirst for power,
or due to the absolute stupidity of the people,
your enemy starts killing themselves,
bringing their own continent down. on their own.

that's what extremists are. pure stupidity.
