> Like blowing up people living in mud huts in deserts going by US economic priorities. A regime largely in place to protect biased trade relations for cheap materials and goods from around the world and more importantly (to those orchestrating the regime) to the line the pockets of select defense contractors.
Haha. How on earth did they convince US citizens that indeed sending highly trained soldiers each worth their weight in gold to fight a war of attrition in the desert against sons of goat farmers?
At what point did everyone agree and say "this is a brilliant idea Mon general!" and proceed to send their sons to die in the desert?
- forest_dweller 6y agoThe same thing throughout history again and again. A country will become wealthy and then they typically will build their military and then go on wars to justify it. It isn't anything that is US centric.
