Soft power

 When you have money and power, you need to use it better other people's lives. Eliminate poverty,  build hospitals, improve nutrition, increase world happiness, improve education, .... The list is endless. Instead America chooses to bomb countries for oil.  A few decades back Americans were loved all over the world. Their music, movies, fashion, even thinking widely copied. Soft power is what brings prosperity. Only graves are bought with blood money.
