They are still talking in that “intellectual property domination” and “intelligent jobs” tone. A lot of the supposedly new and liberal globalization was about global segregation.
And even many people on Lemmy don’t get that the western militaries’ PR is the same - small forces, technical superiority, organization and logistics are supposed to be equal to Russian or maybe Turkish standing armies of hundreds thousands of people with mass training and mass-produced cheap weaponry.
That’s why they can’t even decide on trying to shoot down jets violating their air space, protected by such superior and organized forces.
No, I mean US military too, if you also look at budget to personnel ratio and the tasks it’s supposed to cover.
But yes, US military is much less like the western movies PR and more like a normal military, compared to European ones (even France), just with such funding that one can be certain that most of that is going to perpetually feed various mafia-oligarch-deepstate freeloaders.
I mean, “the west” includes Turkey, South Korea, and even Israel, so of course.

The usa army has 1.3 million active personnel. China has 2 million. Usa’s is not small by population % or absolute amount.
So I’m going to take a guess and assume you mean Europe’s specifically, not a generalized “the west’s”
