The US has been on an insane orgy of military spending since 9/11 at least

Serving as an army officer in Afghanistan convinced me that Assange's analysis is essentially correct. It was obvious on the ground that we were not aiming for "victory." https://t.co/xVKD4Wfluz

Kinda hard to say they're wrong. Have you noticed that everytime we should turn to fixing our own country another big bad appears that we have to gear up for?

I seriously think that the interests of the America people deviate from the interests of the elite. Citizens are no longer in control of this govt (if we ever have been).
