While I was too young to vote during the W. Bush presidency, I still was far too blind to the fact that having a America as the world police has very little to do with most other right wing politics. The biggest part of the deception was the premise that "we have to get them there before they attack us here!"
Given all the warranted doubt that comes with the whole 9/11 narrative, we should be more prepared to question why we ever have had military intervention in so many countries.
I have a theory that much of the intervention taking place during the W. Bush years and beyond were just a carryover for our military policy from the Cold War years. With the Cold War being over by the 90s, we still had quite a hefty military and less apparent justification for the spending and size of military.
So, given what we know about institutions, would we expect those working in the military and those who profit from having a large military to just allow the military to shrink?
"much of the intervention taking place during the W. Bush years and beyond were just a carryover for our military policy from the Cold War years. "
The wars in the middle east starting with George Bush Senior or earlier were because the United States sided with the USSR during world war 2 instead of Germany
& to support the zionist state of counterfeit Israel
counterfeit Israel wants to genocide people who are not Ashkenazi & Sephardic "Jews" who live in the middle east
"military policy from the Cold War years"
There was no cold war except a propaganda war
The United States worked together with USSR to fake the video footage of the inside of the space station because they were on the same team
The United States of America sided with USSR during world war 2 because the USA was covertly "communist" all along just like the USSR
It was important that the public not know that the USA is "communist" or they could have stopped "communism"
@shortstories Even if we accept that the Cold War was all fake and gay, it still provides cover and justification for high military spending.
And assuming what you are saying is correct here, what do you make of the current situation with Russia in Ukraine with NATO supplying arms to Ukraine? Is Russia still covertly working with us, or is it a split from the previous cooperation?
My guess is that countries are like competing teams run by the same manager
People really die in wars but they do not go to war for the purpose they claim
Ukraine & Russia might want to reduce not just the population of the other country but of their own country
They create wars so that people will be afraid that without a government there will be a war
They can use wars to justify tax
Tax forces people to be employed
They skim services & resources from employees
