Ya’ know, Trump told everyone to get out of Syria a while back and they all whined about needing a few weeks or a month to organize the exit. Now they’ve had a couple months and they have a whole new line of BS to try and rally support for continued presence in Syria, despite how stupid it makes the US look to stay there, pays very well.
Not only that, but who thinks Kurds who receive a bundle of cash complain if it’s a few tens of thousands less than they were told to expect? In all likelihood, it’ll be missing a few tens of thousands more before it gets to wherever the grunts are being paid or weapons purchased.
There’s no opportunity for corruption better than a nice little war and a lot of the pols crying are actually crying over the fact they know the skim will be smaller once we get out of Syria and therefore, their cut will be smaller.
Within weeks of our actually being out of Syria, you count on the same lovers of war who are complaining about this to be in a panic over some other part of the world where we need to send at least as many people as we pull out of Syria. Not someplace where we have a larger presence already, but somewhere that they’ll say only needs a safe area where we can help the most by delivering cash and weapons “and letting them do the fighting”.
Well done, and the key words here are “the skim”. And this has been my own complaint about war mongering all along, it a business to be seen and understood as a business. They care not how much this will cost our Grandchildren or how many die. All they care about is lining their own pockets under the disguise of patriotism and safety.
It greatly insults the few intelligent enough to know they are being manipulated just to line pockets. How many more need to die? How is it just to place this long term debt on our Great Grandchildren? Anyone who believes this is just and necessary is an ignorant brainwashed fool.
Yes, you are right. There will be a false flag to fire another one up as soon as they think they can get away with it. They can’t afford to allow a hiatus to last very long, it cuts into quarterly profits, And cutting into yearly profits is totally out of the question.
