At the end of the Cold War, we were promised a "peace dividend." Massive military cuts, to result in lower taxes, lower debt, with some money still left over for increased social spending. A win-win-win.

But then we were dragged into yet another Mideast conflict, the Gulf War. Which only occurred because U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, signaled to Saddam Hussein that the U.S. had no objection to Iraq invading Kuwait.

The Neocon Deep State tricked Saddam into attacking Kuwait, thus providing a pretext to remain militarily in the Mideast, and continue our military spending and foreign aid.

You and libertarians believe we should only defend our borders and shorelines, armed with pop guns.

“ The Neocon Deep State tricked Saddam into attacking Kuwait..”

That’s quite the accomplishment. How exactly did they do that?
