Bingo. After 1st Iraq war and destruction of USSR, US came to be feared and reap the fruits of hegemony. It also allowed the MIC of US and other NATO countries to turn into ridiculous level of grift and now that someone dared to call them out on it, the Emperor's clothes are disappearing.

Their solution: pump more money into the same grift.
