But how is spending so much money on our military at the expense of all those other things going to fix it?

China has 22,000 miles of high-speed rail & 22,000 under construction. They are crushing us in ways that go way beyond military & thinking a bigger military will fix it is the oldthink we have to let go. Notice how they drew your attention from the Middle East to India and China!

US removing 2500 troops is announced the same week as a $713B defense budget & $23B arms sale to UAE. “Create this shiny thing over here so they won’t look over there!” Troops in Afghanistan is a symptom; deeper cause is a perpetual war machine to which both parties are beholden

The United States has military bases in 70 countries, on every continent except Antarctica. Our gargantuan global military presence does not make the world safer; if anything it makes it more dangerous.

I share your concern for the women of Afghanistan, and appreciate American support for their safety and opportunities. In a way however that is a separate issue.

Our “perpetual war machine” is a huge and heinous problem, but blaming it on the Jews is preposterous.

From the same article: “The efficiency is grossly misunderstood by those who count troops and believe the happy talk that emanates from officialdom that progress is being made, that forces are being withdrawn or that ‘ending’ wars means either ending a war or connotes success.”
