Amazing how many countries - including ours - base their economies on exporting weapons, then once the wars start say “Stop the fighting! Stop the fighting!”

Our economy is not based on exporting weapons. We do export about 33% of all weapons with about half going to Middle East with most going to Saudi Arabia & UAE. Japan is another major importer. We help are allies by arming them so they can defend themselves from their enemies.

"... base their economies on exporting weapons..." US weapons exports are around eight tenths of one percent of the US economy.

Of course. That is the game keep the masses hoping for peace while the masters wage war. The people keep voting for this system.

Making, selling and using weapons is highly profitable, and the best part is you can also profit from rebuilding too! Isn't Capitalism great?!?!?!

Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, Trump were war hawks and devoted to Israel. Why would anyone think Biden would be any different? This was Bernie’s presidency but Obama sabotaged him which is unforgivable. #RankChoiceVoting #EndTheDuopoly #FreePalestineFromIsrael

Joe Biden claiming both sides should ceasefire AFTER giving Israel $735 million is like a police negotiator giving the hostage taker three extra civilians then asking nicely to 'disarm'

Is not even "stop the fighting", it's "we will wait to see what happens"
What did you expect when you voted for a warmonger?
