NY Magazine calls me a “peacemonger”...says my views “highly unusual” for “deep permanent defense-spending cuts & complete reorientation of international relations to focus on conflict prevention.” That I “challenge mainstream views of America’s role in the world.” IMAGINE THAT!

So great the ubiquitous power of the military-industrial-complex that in a presidential campaign w/ 20 candidates only 2 even dare mention it (both women).So entrenched the perception that brute force is our only problem-solving option that to question it is made to look “weird.”

It saddens me that the media its not more open-minded and no longer feels responsibly for proving objective analysis.

Good on you to recognize one of the biggest issues with how government solves problems it recognizes. My question for you is this: what is your solution to the problems government faces? It’s currently going through a potential existential crisis because of lack of public trust.

I love that you are talking about the MIC. the mic needs be audited, the auditors given protection. it's that bad. in fact you could win the dnc election if you focused on the missing money, made them pay it back and we used it for schools and food programs. we have lost our way.

Bernie Sanders also supports dismantling of the military industry complex, so you got him on your side too.

For the sake of a $350B arms sale to Saudi Arabia, we’re giving aerial support to a genocidal war that has starved tens of thousands of Yemenis including children. Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill trying to stop it.
