Peter Dale Scott's The Road to 9/11 basically places 9/11 in a much broader history of maneuvering between factions of the US government. While invading the Middle East was an extremely important outcome, it was part of a much broader package. Notably after 9/11 you have the PATRIOT Act and the immediate massive growth of the surveillance state. Joe Biden just renewed the national state of emergency that remains uninterrupted.
And even only in the context of the military and Imperialism, there were revolutionary changes in the attempt to acquire "full spectrum dominance." In the words of the Project for the New American Century, "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."
Also I'm sorry for being rude with the vibes comment. I've had yet another bad day with little sleep.
yeah the project for a new american century stuff I guess counts as the obvious motive and documentation lmao they kind of just put it all out there didn't they.
