Given that we were wrong & we lost in Vietnam, we were wrong & we lost in Iraq, and we were wrong & we lost in Afghanistan, what will it take to smash the illusion that an unholy alliance with the military industrial complex & a $780 billion defense budget is anything but a scam?

There’s no alliance, we are being ruled.

It's all about selling weapons it's nothing but a Big business and we really never cared about who it killed are hurt as long as we could make a dollar off it

It's the people in charge. One thing I was hoping for was to drain thr swamp. Whatever side your on, I feel like it's across the board those people gotta go

Does anyone “win” a war?

I think the Transnational Capitalist know end of the US Empire is near. They are looting the US Treasury. The Federal Reserve is still subsidizing the financial industry. The industry has been receiving $120,000,000,000 per month.
The Economist Stephanie Kelton wants working class people to realize the Federal Budget doesn’t operate like a household budget. Congress can pay to improve our living conditions. #MedicareForAll The US Congress spent about $4,000,000,000 per year in Afghanistan.

What will it take? Re-elect #Trump.
While I have my reservations about our enormous defense budget, the reality is that there is no better way of ensuring our national security than maintaining our military supremacy over everyone else. Do you want to live in a world where another country controls our destiny?

I didn’t vote or get consulted on any war. We only have a slightly representative government and I wish many around the world would know this and realize the military lost this war not most Americans we were not consulted. The USA is not a democracy.
