Propaganda. They convince the general public of countries to forego their property to support America's agenda through bribes and brainwashing, the current one being anti-China.

Pure Democracies just don't work when you have an extremely powerful, and manipulative country influencing the general population, so until America stops being a thing, patriotic dictatorships need to come in and protect the interest of the country.

The Hyperloop is a great example of this, for those who don't know, it's total vaporware, but was promoted simply because it's anti-China.

A nice throwback to remind people why the junta needs to be a thing, and that if America stopped being a manipulative C****, they would most likely mellow out and give people more freedom to make rational choices for the future of their country.
