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troops and believe the happy talk that emanates from officialdom that progress is being made, that forces are being withdrawn or that ‘ending’ wars means either ending a war or connotes success.”

1968 episode of Star Trek: “A taste of Armageddon” -arriving at a planet where his crewmembers are slated to die, Kirk learns they’re in a virtual war in which suicide is committed to avoid real combat. They’ve made war so sanitary it goes on for centuries. Visionary?

There are some of us who have been screaming this from the rooftops for over 25 years @marwilliamson. Our politicians don't care because war is the primary way they enrich their friends, family, and themselves. All while making the rest of the planet hate us more and more daily.

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