Over and over, the military tells Americans that grave consequences would follow unless we fight and win in some overseas conflict. Yet we keep losing, and nothing terrible happens. When, if ever, will we see through the military’s fear-mongering?

We have a massive military-industrial complex. Any controlled shutdown would take decades. It’ll never happen. Not with the democrats and the Republicans taking their marching orders from the same people. I expect Ukraine will lose funding, Israel will get plenty of U.S. tax dollars to pay for the cost of bulldozing all that rubble and all those corpses into the sea and then, of course, further funding to pay for Israel’s universal health care for all its citizens. The buildings will go up via several tranches of investment opportunities by which the best friends of the current Israeli government will make out like bandits.
China and Taiwan? We’ll probably HAVE to get into that unless we can find another war to start ourselves.
Brilliant! Thank you!
