For every “justified foreign intervention” that the US has been involved in, there are scores more that didn’t happen. Bosnia reminded me that we are selective, about whom we help. Genocide is only occasionally a path to war, for the US. I’m not saying that I wish we intervened, in every case. That’s not realistic. But we don’t help “shit hole” countries, with their affairs…
Famine usually garners some hand outs. But those hand outs, are controlled by lots of corrupt, and evil people.
The US’s selective war mongering, exposes it’s transparent motivation for war. Greed. They seem to have a pattern of getting involved, when there is something to be manipulated, for gain. It’s portrayed, as helping the needy. Many, many, many brave people have fought under false pretences. Greed knows no bounds. Greed disguises itself, as a champion of the weak. Greed is a sneaky bastard. It uses victims of circumstance, and well intended young people to line the pockets of the wealthy. The war machine, that the US is, is a tool for the elite. We don’t have the world’s most powerful military, for altruistic reasons. Or defense. If anyone doesn’t get that, they’ve been had…
Between the CIA, and our politicians, we have committed some of history’s most vile acts… Billions have been negatively affected, or worse. Who knows what this world could be without greed. I doubt we’ll ever know….
