The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

NO ECONOMIC RECOVERY UNLESS WE CUT MILITARY BUDGET


It ain't about "defense" anymore.....it's about the US military empire whose job is to protect the interests of corporate globalization

No serious cuts in Pentagon budget = no money for economic recovery at home

It's not just about economic recovery at home - much of the U.S. dollar is backed by foreign debt holdings in Japan, China, and elsewhere. The domestic economies of these countries suffer as well under an international economic system that forces these countries to hold U.S. dollars for foreign trade. International monetary reform is required to pull the dollar plug on the U.S. military-industrial-complex.

Military spending is the #1 item for net spending.

We need to get this deficit and the dollar under control - which I don't see happening given that we have a dollar backed by nothing and the Fed is now TRYING to create inflation...
