    Is it really apathy to not want to kill and die for rich assholes?

    Most people realize we only get entangled in bullshit that has nothing to do with “defense”.

    I keep thinking we have 2 carrier groups parked in Israel’s backyard. Last time things went to hell there was the USS Liberty incident. Then there was that whole Gulf of Tonkin buisness too.

      it’s a rather uncomfortable pattern, and it’s not like these people are terribly creative

    I read an analysis that America is desperately trying to ignore Iraqi and Iranian provocations because the US military knows that they can’t do anything to either country without a full ground invasion that would make Afghanistan look like a picnic

    You know what this will lead to? More misery. More people in poverty and other terrible shit to make the military more appealing to join. They’re running out of bullshit stories to invade other nations and everyone sees their lies.
