It’s becuase the same decrepit war criminals have for the past 30 odd years been allowed to get away with mass murder , inepitude, and callousness and face zero consequences

You mean the last 80 years. Maybe 240.

Yep, people who should never be listened to because it's all about pushing them up the ladder, earning prestige, making lotsa money, while not giving a damn how many bodies pile up.

Just slick talking hustlers , the American way, why Epstein landed where he did first years

Yea let's listen to those amazing self proclaimed foreign policy experts. They have done a smashing job since the 1950s. Every American military intervention hasn't led to massive blowback and the deaths of millions of people.

We almost must trust Israel because they always speak the truth. They are all soft and cuddly care bears who are in danger from the barbaric Muslims.

I sometimes wonder what life would be like if all this energy and money spent on war - was instead spent on making the world a better place to live for all people, regardless of race, religion or sex.

But instead, for my whole life, the drum beats of war have never ever ceased. I'm tired of it. Are you?

I can visualize the room in which I passed the army draft physical and became available red meat for 'Nam. Sick of war? Bloody well right. Long fucking time.

So you think your schooling's phony

I guess it's hard not to agree

You say it all depends on money

And who is in your family tree

Right (right), you're bloody well right

You got a bloody right to say

War is oxygen for the American economy, i.e. “Capitalism”

Time to "smother the fire" of capitalism then, right?

I'm sick of it too. Been sick of it for over 60 years. Best regards.

Yes, I am tired of it. If all that money were spent making our lives better, we would have more music, more art, delicious organic food, we might be able to mitigate the climate catastrophe and we might be better set to deal with some of the problems that technology is creating.

Yes, jamenta, I am not only tired but sick of it. Maybe that is why Caitlin resorted to sarcasm...

Anyway we can all dream of a better world.

I'm terribly tired of the drum beats of war, too. It's been constant since the day I was born. I don't want to leave this plane of existence until I shut the war machine down forever!

Fuck, you preempted me. All I was gonna say, "It's totally not about the Jews this time."

Why does this sound sooooo familiar?

How many (rehashed) War Propaganda does it take to wake people up?

Issrhelli fascists hate Arabs and Christians. The most racist nation on earth. Fuck off Zionist propagandist fascists

"there are people from the targeted country who say they don’t like their government". So who is going to bomb the US Empire? There are people in the US who say they don't like their government. Who will save them?

wilter downs's avatar

Its the truth, regardless of the source. Military personnel are paid a pittance. They get used up and then sent off to the VA horror show hospitals.

That closing line is hilarious! :D

Iran had better get some nukes asap. It’s the only way to make the US fuck off for good.

How many times can a war be postponed before it becomes failed brinkmanship?

Indu Abeysekara's avatar

Caitlin, You have surpassed every meaning of sarcasm! You are a satirist! Your use of irony to mock and ridicule is perfect.

You made my day!

This war may be completely different. In a different sense though. This time the enemy is formidable compared to previous targets. This time repercussions may reach closer to home than imagined. Irn is strong and wants to stay strong and is trying to negotiate really hard for peace. But if the unholy alliance of warmongers causes enough damage I can’t imagine it not retaliating with full force. It’s shown remarkable restraint so far and that may have given the wrong impression to some. May God have mercy.

"If bombing Iran was a bad idea they would have told us so in the news. The news isn’t allowed to lie about important things like this."

I laughed so hard when I read this that I almost choked! The news lies about important things like bombing Iran? Who'd have ever thought?!

I just hate the idea that so many will be killed and injured just to wake up the Maga Bros and their neoliberal pals. Why can't they take our word for it, that war is just EVIL and WRONG?
