Comment on Iran threatens to hit Gulf states if US launches new strikesparent

Military–industrial complex and Israel.

The Iraq war lasted nearly a decade. Afghanistan 2 decades. And the US accomplished nothing. They made things worse, I don't need to go into details because that is an easy lookup.

That's ultimately the purpose of this war. Israel wants us to fight Iran because "Iran was close to making a nuke", which is an excuse they have been using for nearly 30 years.

Have you seen how much money AIPAC has in US politicians' pockets? Nearly every other office in congress has an Israel flag on their door. Poured $36M (Million) into Haley Stevens. A complete nincompoop and incompetent person, but she would have further supported Israel's agenda.

The US is a destructive war machine beast that needs to be constantly fed. Unfortunately, we are going to see tons of US armed forces personnel and Iranians die in a needless, wasteful, illegal war.

Military–industrial complex and Israel.

Or general stupidity and incompetence. Trump and his cabinet of clowns thought they could score a big win (I suppose like Russia back in 2022). Now they are stuck in shit and have no clue how to get out.

If the military industrial complex was in control of the US gov. they would stop President Cheeto from antagonizing the rest of NATO and therefore reducing the competitiveness of US arms manufacturers.

You are of course right about Israel Netanyahu is playing cheeto like a fiddle..

Yup, it's a dementia patient floundering around, supported by a coterie of nutters and incompetents. You know it's bad when the Iranian leadership is the least crazy party in all this.

"They made things worse.."

..it almost as if you think they came there to make things better

Military–industrial complex

Is this Military–industrial complex in the room with you right now?

On January 17, 1961, in this farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the establishment of a "military-industrial complex.

As clear of a problem then as now.

It stopped being a thing at the end of cold war.

Based on what?

Cold War is back on, by the way…

A meeting from 1993 while CNBC says the US is depleting its entire stock of missiles in overseas war,

and that’s an additional war, not just the Russian conflict we’ve proxied ourselves into, and sent tons of gear into, avionic assistance into.

Seriously, I know you’re reading this because of the rapid downvote: you really don’t think the US is in the middle of war?
