First proposed by George
Carlin following the initiation of the Persian Gulf War in 1991; the bigger dick foreign policy theory theorizes the justification of war (or conflict in general) being
based solely on the size of the aggressor's penis in comparison to the penis size of the defender. Generally, the aggressor possesses a smaller penis in comparison to the defender, and so feels compelled to
attack/invade/conquer the defender in order to feel
better and prove to others that he is the superior of the
two, despite his smaller penis size.
When used to explain war justification, it also explains the visual similarity between rockets, bombs, and bullets, and features they share with phallic imagery, as "the need to project the penis into other peoples' affairs", and is
thought to be the origin of the phrase "fucking with people".
The bigger dick foreign policy theory is usually born out of, and is very often related to, dick fear.
"You
don't have to be a historian or a political scientist to see bigger dick foreign policy theory at
work. It sounds like this: 'What, they have bigger dicks?!
Bomb them!'"
