War

The real patriots are we folks who do NOT wish to send our young soldiers to all those places overseas to either kill or be killed for strictly the purposes of this Military Industrial Empire!

An estimated increase of 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers may be deployed.

"Instead of providing healthcare to sick Americans or education, this is what your tax dollars are going towards. Enough is enough."

While the current administration seems to run on uncontrollable testosterone, the problem of nuclear weapons didn’t start with them, even its immediate predecessor helped to bring about this impasses.

Here is what the coming boom years are likely to look like for the Pentagon, the arms makers, and their weaponry.

Let’s hope that the Trump administration proves to be the detour on the path to finally bidding farewell to nuclear arms.

“Am I pleased that the 12 children and their coach in Thailand were rescued? Of course I am. I just wish that an equivalent effort was being made to rescue each of the 50,000 children we will kill today, tomorrow, the next day and the day after that….”

The world needs to move beyond militarism to mature and legal forms of dispute resolution by creating courts that prosecute war crimes and the crimes against humanity of all countries.

Embedded journalists and news organizations that hire retired generals for commentary don’t give the true picture.

Now, thanks to Donald Trump’s impulsive militarism and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s more deliberate escalation strategy, this 40-year war is turning hot.
