War is as its always been. And the propaganda by our government and military is as its always been. Without relatively sane leadership, its even worse. Israel/US/NATO/Allies are good examples. They are like a rampaging murderous cult. Israel's Master Race cult delusion, Dominion over the world, Fascist Nazi's. War Profiteering.

Lyndon Johnson told the nation

Have no fear of escalation

I am trying everyone to please

Though it isn't really war

We're sending fifty thousand more

To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese

Is it still an excursion with 50,000 troops deployed to Middle East?

Catherine Mommsen's avatar

Depends. Are you DJT? Then yes. Anyone else, no, not now and never was a stupid excursion.

Bleak, but oh so realistic analysis. Thank you, Neil.

The fight against

Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and their allies is the only just war fought by the USA in at least the last 150 or more years. And then America did not fight alone.

We had to be cajoled and pulled into it, kicking and screaming. And then we abandoned Poland and Czechoslovakia to Russia after allowing thousands in the Netherlands to starve to death. So yeah. It was justified for sure, but then we swaggered in and trampled all over small countries, allies or not. So I can’t give us full moral credit on that one, either.
