President Eisenhower, in his final address to the nation, uttered words that will remain relevant for ages.
The following is a key excerpt from that speech:
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.
VIDEO
The military-industrial complex that Eisenhower was referring to is the nefarious alliance among governments, arms manufacturers, arms dealers, and mercenaries.
This is a coalition that profiteers from wars and hence uses its powers to compel governments to enter optional conflicts. The fact that the lives of civilians and armed personnel are lost and trillions of taxpayer dollars are wasted hardly matters to them.
This is a symbiotic relationship.
The arms dealer or defense contractor donates to the politician and perhaps promises them lucrative jobs after their retirement from politics.

No less than Serbia, Libya, and a whole slew of other countries.
Good ol’ moral relativity to the rescue again for you russians.
Moral relativity? Moral relativity is being used to justify U.S. involvement in Ukraine.
As for "we russians", being against U.S. involvement in Ukraine doesn't make me a Russian.
How but how about "you Ukrainians"? or "you Bidenistas"?
Don’t play that game dude.
Are the democrats planning a conflict. stop.
You means besides all the other ones they’ve created?
As I posted earlier in thread, the U.S. State Department installed a criminal government in Ukraine that aligned with George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Jao Bai-din, Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, John Kerry Jr., Christopher Heinz (Kerry), and Alex Vindman. Included in that group are those who conspired to interfere with our government and impeach a dutifully elected President Trump.
Add in Hollywood, the epicenter of hatred for the "deplorables" of this country, hosting Zelensky at their awards ceremony.
That list of names is all anyone needs to be suspicious of anything supporting Ukraine.
Afghanistan?
The stated goal is to reduce the world population by 7,500, 000,000.
Just sayin'...

The politician actively campaigns for wars by penning articles in “reputed newspapers” or perhaps making appearances on TV or a speech in the Senate or the House....”
“There is no transparency on how the initial $13.6 billion was spent. There will be no transparency on where the additional $33 billion will be spent. ...”
“The chaos in that region means that most of these mercenaries are not vetted.
What happens when the sophisticated weaponry that Biden dispatched to Ukraine ends up in the hands of the mercenaries? What if some of the mercenaries are linked to terrorist groups that intend to use the weaponry to harm the U.S. and its allies? What if some of these “fighters” pilfer and sell the advanced weaponry on the black market?...”
Spot. On.
This is more Corrupt War, Inc., with an all out propaganda campaign. It’s sucked so many in. For what? Corrupt, God forsaken shiitehole Ukraine?!?
The Ukraine of Nuland, Vindman, Chalupa, CIAramella—who conspired to remove Trump?!?
The Ukraine of the Corrupt Biden Family, making millions?!?
Wake up, people!!!!
This just in from CNN, Congress has adjourned for the summer, and everyone in Congress is going to spend the summer 'On the Beach' in Australia...
All hail the Georgia Guidestones!!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

If anyone is considering being saved by the Real Messiah Jesus Christ - today would be a good day for it.

“No less than Serbia, Libya, and a whole slew of other countries.”
I agree and I continuously oppose the war in Syria and I utterly opposed the war in Libya especially when Khaddafy went above and beyond to help in the Darfur crisis.
Nope. Once a man made a pass at me, and I kicked him so hard he was on the floor whimpering. I despise gays, lesbians, B, T & Q. There are only 2 genders, man or woman. You are always born with only one.
This is one of the reasons I despise Zelensky. He is a homo.
If you despise homos then spend a lot less time worrying about them. Hate to tell you but people who obsess about homosexuals are usually homosexual themselves.
“Hate to tell you but people who obsess about homosexuals are usually homosexual themselves.”
Where do you get that? Do you believe it about the Apostle Paul? You are one of the most arrogant liberals on this site, and I can usually avoid your Ukraine obsessed crap. You love that penis driven maniac in drag president over there. But others of us don’t and you want it both ways; to defend homosexuals, while impugning those who disagree with you as a homosexual.
