America likes Israel the way it is. I honestly don’t know why any more, but America will not step in because America doesn’t want to step in. Biden’s popularity is in freefall because he refuses to do anything about America’s complicity in this genocide–yet, he still does nothing. There must be a reason that overrides the compelling case to end a genocide, but I don’t know what it is. He doesn’t even have to send troops, he just has to stop sending them aid. He won’t even do that. Idgi, but the fact stands that America will not step in.
It’s because behind both parties is a unified force known as the military industrial complex, which loves any excuse to make and sell weapons.
Say our government decides to send 100 million dollars in military aid to another country. Most, if not all, of that 100 million is sent as physical armaments rather than actual currency. The government gives companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, etc the actual money for this aid effort, and their products (weapons of war) are what is sent along as aid.
As it turns out, companies like the aforementioned love any excuse to sell more weapons, and carry large amounts of sway with politicians on both sides of the aisle, so they pressure those sales to continue.
I’m rewatching Oliver Stone’s JFK from 1991 … and when you listen to Costner’s monologue from the real life Jim Garrison explaining the motivation of why JFK was assassinated and eliminated, the Military Industrial Complex was at the top of the list.
Just the actions of what happened the day after the assassination speaks volumes … the new president Lyndon Johnson stepped back JFK’s original plans to withdraw from Vietnam and made promises to his military that they would continue the war.
They didn’t just kill a president in 1963, they signed the death warrant for two hundred thousand American soldiers and a million Vietnamese.
As a companion piece to that great film witch doesn’t even scratch the surface of the tragedy in 1963, I urge you to read or listen to the the book “LBJ - Mastermind of the JFK Assassination” by Phillip F Nelson.
It’s absolutely fascinating and brings up more than a few irrefutable points. Seriously, give it a read or listen. (I personally prefer the audiobook).
It’s 27 hrs long…
