Looks like we're in another Middle East war again

Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan. Trillions of dollars spent, thousands of lives lost. Wars are good for distracting the public from the president's crimes.

We bombed Iran. They will, of course, counter-attack. Followed by the U.S. reprisal, and so it will go. The dreary meat-grinder will drag on and on. The only people who benefit will be the corrupt defense contractors who will rake in the money.

Do you notice how they always say we can't have universal health care, affordable housing, affordable college, good public transit, etc. But there are always endless billions for wars.

I say we spend our tax money on domestic improvements. No more endless war!

Having this kind of war makes it much easier to hide the billions of dollars going into Rump's offshore accounts. Who's to say a missile costs 10million, maybe it cost 200 million.. might be a little loose with the numbers.
Financed by D.O.G.E. anyway, they need to use up that money someplace. Can't keep it hidden forever..
Spent on Iran bombings.
Americans voted for war and austerity! They're against all third party and independent alternatives! It's bipartisan Early deaths while arming all wars everywhere! No way to stop them dying! Do let them go!
And all of them started by Republican presidents. Might be a pattern here.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You think that LBJ was a Republican? 🤔
@ArtieKat Ummm pretty sure LBJ was dead by 2001.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I beg your pardon, I missed that the post was about Middle-East wars - not foreign wars in general.
I wonder how much better the debt would look without the wars.

Didn’t tRUMP always claim to be an “isolationist?”

What gives?

Oh—you mean he lied?!?!?

Imagine that!
@KunsanVeteran
No, Trump always supported the idea of 'Protectionism', not 'Isolationism'.
I say we spend our tax money on domestic improvements.

The USA would have to become part of Canada if you wanted to bring any of that idea to fruition for yourself.

This war is just a continuation of the slaughter in Gaza. Nuttyahoo is too chicken and entitled to go to jail for corruption.

Unlimited taxpayer money for Israël. They get national healthcare including abortion. Congress doesn't give a damn about non millionaires.
