The So-Called War on Terror Has Killed Over 801,000 People and Cost $6.4 Trillion
It’s a nice cyclical cycle the Military Industrial Complex has used many times before our incursions into the Middle East
Insert any middle eastern country (excluding Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, because they’re just as complicit)
Then when that country announces any sort of nationalization of resources or turns away from US Aid (Interference)
Then suddenly the leader and governmental hierarchy that was just ten years ago in the White House and called our good friend is painted as evil and against our ways of life, because now it’s convenient
Then the US bombs the fuck out of the country and most likely boots on the ground, a couple hundred drone strikes later with a 90% civilian casualty rate and a country with a devastated infrastructure and governmental institution
Create more “terrorists” who hate our freedom and attack the troops stationed there and then more military intervention
All the while the MIC is sitting back comfortably watching their account balances go up as the world descends further and further into chaos and destruction
This has been a quick lesson in Americas Foreign Policy quick quite to perpetual war, because like our favorite woke Marine once said “War is a Racket”
