U.S. MILITARY HAS NO IDEA WHAT SAUDI ARABIA IS DOING WITH U.S. BOMBS IN YEMEN

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

In an admission on Tuesday, the head of U.S. Central Command admitted that the Pentagon doesn’t know a whole lot about the Saudi airstrikes in Yemen that the United States is supporting through intelligence, munitions, and refueling. Sen. Elizabeth Warren asked, “General Votel, does CENTCOM track the purpose of the missions it is refueling? In other words, where a U.S.-refueled aircraft is going, what targets it strikes, and the result of the mission?” “Senator, we do not,” Votel replied.

My Thoughts On This News

This is what happens when a government spends over $600 billion per year on the military, they create so many weapons of war they don't know what to do with them, they have to sell them or give them to other countries so they get used somewhere. They have created an economy of perpetual warfare.... The money that is spend on the US military is more than enough to provide free college and healthcare for every American, instead they use it to create weapons of war. Now the people who are supposed to be in charge of the military don't even know or track where these weapons are being used nor what they are being used for. While US tax payers pay the corporations every year to create more and more weapons. This economy of war has to stop and if it does not stop soon it will end in an economic hyper inflation...
