Lol

That's just it, it's not.

It's a whole economy based on the threat of neverending warfare.

An actual war, where they aren't just stomping on something from a great height, that is short term benefit compared to selling them the re-up every cycle, "just in case"

Military keeping up with the Joneses.

I'm getting second hand embarrassment watching him beg Xi to fix his mess.

oh, we both know who asked for it, money men-

Sorry actually, they aren't fans of it either, death merchants and arms dealers are the ones who asked for this to happen.

It’s actually looking like Trump might have burned a few bridges and the adults in other countries are finally in a position of power.

the world is healing

Graham, Bolton, and plenty of other ghouls have been craving this war for decades. They're all jizzing themselves live on cable right now.

Oh honey, have you met any Americans before?

The US has wanted this war since 1979. The neocons in particular have been working towards it since Sept. 2001.

📺 General Wesley Clark "We're going to take-out 7 countries in 5 years."

“I just got this down from upstairs,” meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office […] “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off [with] Iran.”

Trump is now begging NATO vassals to join in the war because the US is getting their ass kicked.

Trump just didn't magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that's the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he'll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.

You will believe that a man born into wealth can become even richer.
