Just what is it about this constant “forever war” syndrome that we find ourselves in as a country?
Are YOU really that afraid of OTHER?
And just what is it that we don’t understand about people in another country risking their lives to protect their country from aggression?
Wouldn’t YOU protect our country from aggression from a foreign country if they were attacking us?
So just who is this fabled AGGRESSOR?
Well, that’s simple ………… THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. None other!
Now recently we have gone through two Presidential election cycles where the WAR ISSUE was a major factor. And in both cases the winners were Obummer and Orange Tweet both of whom indicated that they wanted to alter the country’s direction away from “foreign wars”.
Oh sure, the American public bought it …….. they always do.
Historically you’ll find that the American public has ALWAYS been against going to war. In fact, in most cases you’ll find that it is true of most populations world wide.
So why is there so much war?
In the first three months of 2017 U.S.-led bombing reached 10,918 bombs and missiles dropped on Syria alone. A country that never, ever posed a threat to the United States.
After 16 years we are still fighting in Afghanistan. A country that never, ever posed a threat to the United States.
We have totally destroyed Iraq but are still fighting there. Another country that never, ever posed a threat to the United States.
Have you noticed a trend here?
Let’s, for the fun of it, jump back to Vietnam for a second. The number of people we killed in Vietnam and the numbers of American that were stupid enough to go to “protect American interests” and die in a complete an utter failure is just shameful.
The arch enemy that was Vietnam “won” that war and remained “communist” and THEN in 2016: “HANOI — The Obama administration announced Monday that the United States would fully lift a longstanding U.S. embargo on lethal arms sales to Vietnam . . .” (Washington Post 5/23/16)
So all it took was an arms deal to be friends? Think on this. All those people dead and now we are selling arms to Vietnam that will kill more people?
OMG ——The Russians! We have to protect ourselves from those aggressive Russians so we threaten them with economic sanctions, nuclear first strike, we place missiles in Europe pointed at them, we build up American military forces at their boarders AND WE CALL THEM AGGRESSIVE?
Yet, the U.S. makes exceptions to sanctions against Russia by lifting bans on Russia’s sales to us of Russia’s RD-180 rocket engines. “It is worth mentioning that Russia’s RD-180 rocket engines, possessing unparalleled performance US firms have yet to match, will be used to launch payloads into Earth orbit for the US Department of Defense.” (Activist Post 1/7/16)
And, “The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday eased economic sanctions on Russia, allowing some cyber-security transactions with the Russian Federal Security Service . . .” (USATODAY Feb. 2, 2017)
So the U.S. can agree to trade contracts and cooperation with Russia, BUT WE CAN’T AGREE ON PEACE WITH EACH OTHER?
And what do we agree with the Russians on?
Rockets??? So, where is all this “fear” we are supposed to believe in that Russia is so dangerous?
Cyber-security transactions??? After all that fear of Russians hacking the last election?
And just check out American oil interests in partnership with Russian firms!
But hell, that’s not all!
Look into JUST the Trump Family contractual agreements with CHINA alone. It will make even your eyes become slanted!
