In the American cartoon show G.I. Joe, no matter how badly the heroes of
G.I. Joe battered the villains of the Cobra organization the previous
week, they would return with even more
men, weapons, and vehicles. No explanation was ever given as to where
Cobra drew these vast resources from, and no explanation was needed –
because it was just a children’s cartoon. In real life, however, a
similar scenario is unfolding, and a similarly childish narrative is
being foisted upon the public to conceal where real villains are drawing
their vast resources from. Unlike in a children’s cartoon, a real
explanation is needed.
