US policies create "blowback terrorism"

How much has military spending contributed to the decline of the United States? Ivan Eland says a lot, and a drain on the coffers isn't the only problem with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have also created hostility towards the United States around the world.

We gotta deflate the military bubble!!

@superbri007 Haha I don't buy that at all. How is fighting Al Qaeda preventing WW3? Last time I checked the USA was the only country to ever use a nuke on another country. WW2 and WW1 were fought between the major military powers of the time. None of the major military powers of today (except the USA) are starting shit with anybody.

What should be noted is not just the REPORTED spending on US Defense, whuch is huge enough, but the money that is spent from the so-called "black budget". This is the money the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) gets off the record or unreported. This sum in the black budget MUST be identified--and eliminated.

We fight proxy wars to prevent world wars. World War III would be good for NO ONE.

My Government has made it dangerous to be an American by not respecting foreign nations ... it's time the corporations learn to make products of non-military use.

Think about it, they want to disarm Americans ... if they are so serious about Gun Contol lets start first with ending sales of military goods to foriegn nations. End the abilty for the state department to sale weapons or gear of military uesage ...

Is it not time to stop the out of control poisoning of Military goods in the world?

I don`t know what to say, i mean, there are thousend of documents/video that show what the corrupted UK/USA are doing, people should have moved up their asses by now yet all this madness still is happening. USA is getting boring. Soldiers are nothing more than dogs! Dogs are better than soldiers! What a world full of ignorants, maybe we deserve all this. I have no words anymore.
