You’re not wrong. But this is our tax payer money being flushed down the toilet to make war profiteering companies more money. I guess go buy some military contractor stocks since it doesn’t look like we have any representatives that can actually stop this bullet train to WWIII.
War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
Bro its guys with guns affiliated with Iran… These ain’t our friends. But if they want to fight Israel good for them. About time Israel entered FO stage IMHO
Hezbollah has been retaliating against Israeli aggression on Lebanon. Israel has been stepping up attacks on Lebanon in the past 6-8 months in an effort to (I assume) drag the US into a war with Iran. Iran who’s actually been incredibly restrained in their responses to Israeli and American aggression.
Neither US nor Iran have anything to gainnfrom this. Hopefully greatest ally fails. They are really creating a lot of needless problems, it is getting tiring.
Jfc. U.S. is determined to keep warring for profit.
It’s been so profitable for nearly a hundred years, why stop now?

A hundred years? All of human history more like.

Smedley Butler wrote that in 1935.
Yes, and for the US, that was nearly a hundred years ago.
Read literally the second sentence I quoted.
Uhh, Hezbollah is unequivocally the bad guys in that potential conflict. Doesn’t make Israel the good guys, mind you…
Huh? How so? Hezbollah, like everyone else actually doing something, want Israel to stop genociding Gaza.

And? Does that automatically make them the bad guys in anything they do? You just dropped a logical fallacy and left.
I am in the westoid camp and they funded by our geopolitical rival. Why would I shill for that shit?
Obviously if they want to check Israel, good for them! Fuck our greatest ally.
So it’s tribalism? I mean at least try to make it sound reasonable. Yes, fuck your greatest ally trying to commit genocide.
I am not following, what reason would have to support Iranian clown theology or its proxies?
In this case they’re the good side because they’re trying to stop genocide so… that.
