    Imagine if we used that $3.5 Billion to forgive student loans or fix our bridges or literally anything other than killing.

    The sooner China uplifts the developing world to make oil irrelevant the better. They’re the ones doing the actual Green New Deal. Most people in the US have no damned clue how far behind we are and it is because of this endless war bullshit.

    Like really show and tell people what China has been doing - they are amazingly ignorant, they only hear Red Scare stuff kril-scream Which I thought we as a country got the heck over with 30 years ago.

    xi-plz we yearn for freedom.

      The empire certainly cares more in participating in fascist mass killings of an entire group of people than giving the slightest thought about its own people.

    Just the military industrial complex doing its thing. You know, ruining humanity and the planet.

    • And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for. thee that one of thy members should perish, and. not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

      A commentry on America’s military industrial complex, to the rest of itself…

    Maybe the US is just getting scammed by Israel? Like Israel is claiming to be the UN tax agency, and it is demanding to be paid in Raytheon gift cards.

      Israel is the US’ beloved imperial attack dog, their primary mechanism of destabilising the middle east toward whatever ends they need. It’s expensive but it seems most times the US doesn’t even bother sending their best gear over, lol.
