Can you imagine having a US government that isn’t constantly putting us all at the cusp of annihilation? Can you? I can’t. It’s like trying to imagine a New York City corner store without a cat sleeping on the bread. Every step of the way, seemingly no matter the president, the US government thrusts us all, naked and scared, into the event horizon of extinction. And every 4 years we vote for them to do it again.
They imperil us and our families and our lives and our carefully coiffed dogs constantly and they’re doing it again right now by supporting Israel’s special genocide operation. Nothing puts nuclear powers around the globe on red alert with their fingers hovering just above the red button like full-on genocide.
But this is just the most recent of many. In case you need a quick refresher:
Iraq - Years of fighting and killing supposedly in order to stop weapons of mass destruction that never existed. The US killed roughly one million people.
Afghanistan - Over 20 years long, a complete disaster with unclear goals. Ostensibly it started in order to get the guys who perpetrated 9/11 even though 15 of 19 hijackers were Saudi. The US spent trillions of dollars and killed roughly 880,000 people.
