But Miles isn't; she is an ambitious and aspiring politician, and under her is the New American government, not some military technology company.
Whether she likes it or not, the existing population of the United States is the foundation of the New American Federation; losing one means one less.
The power of the government comes from the people; without them, what power do you have left?
And if the drug business were only within the United States, it might be bearable, but Cuba's actions are causing an actual trade deficit.
As the Daoist says:
My money!
They take two million, and I get one million!
Should I even thank them?
As long as the reason for declaring war is sufficient, the New American government declaring war against Cuba's drug dealers will only increase Miles' support rate.
And where does anti-war sentiment come from?
Economic downturn and casualties.
