The world economy is a mess and politicians want to keep people from focusing on reality as much as possible to They manufacture as many distractions as possible. Bread and circuses.

Nonsense. The government is doing its very best to keep this issue out of the public eye and to hide this "distraction" as you put it from the public.

It is the public and former military who are driving this issue, not the government and politicians.

If you are going to make mature comments, at least stay abreast of the issues being discussed.
