Very few countries, if any, give legal preferance to one ethnicity except for israel. China is almsot entirely chinese people, but if a white person moves there they are not discriminated against by the government.

If it was a corporation, absolutely. It's part of the risks they're taking on as a business. But for a government, which is by definition non profit, you kinda have to mandate return of the funds. Otherwise the government as a whole could collapse.

This only works if you're America, and even then only somewhat. Everybody else has to fear other places not valuing their currency as highly.

No, they're winning because they have the support of capital. Under capitalism, money = power. And capitalists will always be far right (see their widespread support of Nazi Germany).

The level of brainwashing in America that good economy = good times is truly absurd. Hiring 100,000 men to build mountains and then tear them down again has much better economic output than war does, because your workers don't all die constantly, while still keeping all those people employed and spending money. Hitler wasn't exactly an idiot, but he wasn't even smart enough to understand that A) being evil is really stupid given how important teamwork is to human successes, and B) he literally could have gotten better results for the German economy by building and destroying mountains.
