So what has $5 Trillion in war since 2001 gotten us?
I don't agree with US politicians (Republican or Democrat) on much but the one thing Obama said that I agreed with was that he wanted less war. He never came though on that, in fact, he killed more people with drones than George Bush II ever dreamed of and when Bush was in office the Democrats wanted him brought up on war crimes. They never uttered a peep about Obama, in fact he got a Nobel peace prize. What a fucking joke.
Recently Trump dared attempt to withdraw US troops from Syria and the for profit military DeepState, Democrats and Republicans alike, threw a fit and the National Anthem loving media helped the whole time. You would have thought Trump nominated Colin Kapernick himself to lead the withdrawal. The whole thing is just disgusting. What we are doing has clearly not been working and yet we just keep doubling down.
Check out this article published today on Zerohedge,
Smithsonian Magazine this month published a stunning map detailing just how expansive the post-9/11 "war on terror" has become, demonstrating that contrary to the common assumption that it's "winding down" more than 17 years later, it actually continues to grow and has now spread to more than 40% of the world's countries.
This includes American military and support personnel engaged in ongoing missions in 80 nations on six continents, according to Brown University’s Costs of War Project at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, which has recently calculated that since 2001 the US has spent $5,900,000,000,000 on war, mostly in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen — where US military operations have become more or less permanent, with no consideration of ending them under any circumstances.
